Pros

Lax office environment Decent benefits (Overtime pay, 401k etc...) Easily accessible managers Decent out-of-college salary of $48,000 Accountability for your own work

Cons

Haphazard training Poor communication from supervisors Redundant work No pay raise in over a year which was stipulated at the start (understandably due to the market crisis) Can get stuck in the same position doing the same work for years Departments are isolated

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.
