Pros

I loved my job, I worked A LOT, the job was very rewarding for me personally, considering my background. My manager gave me a chance and I flourished. I gained alot of valuable skills and worked some really cool events. I don't believe that manager is there anymore, if she was I woukd still be. I was laid off during covid and then when they finally called me to come back, my manager had left.

Cons

Long hours, but I didn't mind them.
