Your stay should only be temporary.

Pros

It is good for those straight out of college and looking for work experience

Cons

The culture is to pamper employees with higher degrees. If you have above a bachelor's you will go further in this company

Pros

Good mentor ship. Challenging work.

Cons

You are expected to work on the weekends. If you are in Westat you got to work more than what they pay for.

Pros

Uh? Good question I suppose. Decent hours? They'll keep you busy.

Cons

I'm the roommate of a current employee who simply can't stand working there anymore. Every day he'll come home and rant about how miserable the day was. He's underpaid, overworked and under appreciated. How do I know this for a fact? I used to work there myself. If you have the opportunity to work somewhere else, do it. No real opportunity to further your position. Compensation is on the very low end for the work asked of you. Management is a boy's club (women included) and everyone else is trash. If you aren't in it, good luck.
