Pros

Good Culture, Lots of growing opportunities, Free food and soft drinks, It depends on the type of person to get along with the employees

Cons

Training was lacking a lot, way too many expectations when you first start, the team members I had weren't really social so there were many awkward moments. Overall when it came to getting the job done, there could've been more training to help with that. There is also a lot of micro-managing which tends to get stressful with someone always asking you what you are doing. Also, you get paid monthly and no 401k match.
