Pros

Meet people. Be in a downtown setting.

Cons

My first year I received 5 vacation days and made 30k. I was a naive post grad, now I'm embarrassed I ever took the job as I am making more than twice that with 3 weeks vaca only 1.5 years later (on top of the fact that the companies awful rep generates a lot of teasing and "thats sucks" when you mention you work there). I was under 4 different managers in the span of one year and was constantly stuck underneath incompetent people with meaningless titles who just got shuffled around all damn day. The morale was pitiful, it was always someones last day at SS (good times drinking though!). Wasnt allowed to take any time off in the beginning of the month. When I did it was 5 days total and I made 30k a year so that sums it up....

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
