Pros

they gave me a paycheck. i was extremely overworked and underpaid, but still money is money so i guess that was a pro.

Cons

What a joke. First, when I was interviewing I was told the salary was within a certain range. After a couple of interviews, I got a job offer that was $5000 UNDER that range. They apologized and said that they were currently hiring several positions, so the HR person who I spoke to initally must have given me the wrong information. This should have been a sign that the people there were either 1)Con artists or 2) Really ridiculously disorganized. Either way, I should have taken it as a sign that it was not somewhere I wanted to work. Anyhow, I took the job and it was the most degrading, despressing, miserable position I've ever held. I was treated with more respect and dignity back when I was in high school making minimum wage. These people are unreal. There is no concept of work/life balance: a 12 hour work day is the norm, with no overtime since most employees are salaried. They are extremely careless and disorganized and rely on lower-level staff to work like dogs to make up for it. Despite how unorganized they are, they try to come across as uber-professional and corporate, with awkward and cheesy company lunches and corny emails. You can't treat everyone that horrifically and then act like a big happy corporate family when in reality everyone is just really bitter. The only thing this company cares about is sales, margins, and nothing else.
