Pros

If you’ve just graduated college and have zero work experience, they’ll hire you and fill you with booze and empty promises to make up for your grossly under market salary.

Cons

Too many to count. First off, this company has a cult-like, sorority/fraternity atmosphere. Drinking culture is encouraged/forced on new hires, which lures in the new college grads. Maybe they should ask why the majority of the company is under 30? If you enjoy getting groped by a senior leader at a holiday party, this is the place for you, HR turns a blind eye to anything that happens if it involves the higher ups. They’ll tell you that you’re getting a competitive salary, but take a look at what other firms pay. These people will cut any corner to make a buck, they don’t care about their internal employees and care even less about the people they recruit. Stay away!
