Pros

Many different categories and opportunities to learn Decent PTO 15 days after 1 year Summer Fridays (at will of leadership) I would recommend coming to this company at a senior level. I would not recommend working here longer then 2 or 3 years as an assistant or even an associate. The expectations are lower for new hires, especially at more senior levels, take advantage of it if you can.

Cons

Little to no job growth Barely any wage increase per year or through promotion Poor leadership Extremely Disorganized Toxic work place and management culture Poor work life balance with many teams expected to overtime with no extra pay
