Business Outlook

Pros

I liked the work environment and the people. I had to learn a lot on my own which challenged me to grow as an individual.

Cons

I had a lot of demands to meet deadlines and to come up with solutions on my own. The location was a little old and needed reconstruction or remodeling.
