Pros

fast paced, fun, 4 day week, new and improved onsite coaching, weekly pay, paid training

Cons

bell model based land grabbers with lacking personality skills, even if you work hard and know you are working hard, HR will make it their responsibility to find you a position where you can struggle so they can follow company model of keeping the majority of their employees off the books. great for a young person. still in conflict over their original lease agreement since day one. unable or unwilling to pay corporate debts to original investors.

Pros

- High Hiring Bar - Your career is your responsibility - Gain a lot of experience in a short time - Autonomy is readily granted (just keep on track with your annual goals) - Great place for recent graduates to start careers

Cons

- Need to wear a lot of hats - Review process is short and intense - Some managers have little time to advise career development - High pressure environment with long hours expected (work-life balance can be difficult) Not a con, more of a note of advice: One needs to keep skills and qualifications on par or above the current hiring bar. Even with hard work and dedication, one can become no longer be qualified for the current job easily. Keep note of the qualifications of new colleagues and strive to equal them.
