Pros

Competitive pay. Great learning opportunities (they will work you to the ground).

Cons

Toxic environment. Colleagues are stack ranked against one another so they are incentivized to block you instead of enable you. Management is manipulative and carrot dangle through promo promises, only to let you go on a moment's notice.
