Pros

You become very close with your fellow Assistants on your team because you end up crying on each others shoulders because its so terrible to work there!

Cons

Management does not train AT ALL!!! Every conversation you have is a test and if you don't pass EVERY single test, it will be held against you until review time. There is terrible work life balance, Assistants end up working 12 hour work days (which is fine except the pay does not reflect the effort) Different levels of management will give you conflicting feedback so you never really know what to work on or how to improve.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
