Pros

Great location: close to Washington Square Park. No micro management all you have to do is turn in excel sheets and talk to clients on the phone. Gives you strong job title which means little to nothing both internally and externally--when you explain company functions.

Cons

No upward mobility; don't count on getting paid very well even after promotions. Besides data-entry and QA testing (clicking around a website to find bugs), nothing you will learn at this company will help you in future careers. Terrible leadership Work environment has strong startup vibe Due to non-disclosure agreement I will not state; but it doesn't feel like you're working for an honest company Does not feel like you're working for self-gain or for a company purpose but feels like you're working for the CEO's best interests and his success. No possibility of great financial success at this company Forced to work about half an hour short of 10 hours a day for minimal pay

Pros

Not a bad place as your first job. There is no office so everyone is remote (can be a con for some).

Cons

It’s a small company, so benefits suck - be ready to pay a lot for health insurance if you want a decent plan. They are very strict with time tracking and get very micromanagy with it. Upper management can be secretive and sometimes you don’t find out about major changes (such as layoffs) until the very last minute. They are quick to fire people as soon as projects end or they lose a client, which doesn’t do any good for morale or employees’ mental health.
