Pros

Easy to get stuff done -- If you're a strong willed individual, you can easily set direction and get stuff done. Experience opportunities -- If you have ideas and vision, you can write your own ticket. Though, don't expect a lot of help and/or mentoring. That is non-existent.

Cons

Long hours Benefits are lacking -- What company doesn't offer a 401K match? No tuition reimbursement. Work environment is terrible -- People are densely packed into benched style seating, which creates for an ultra loud environment (esp in sales). Office location is terrible -- The office location leaves a lot to be desired. Literally only two food options, unless you want lunch to be a project. At least a 10-15 minute walk to the train.
