Pros

The opportunity to gain experience and at the same time they respect the fact im a student and understand the arrangement i have to make for school every semester. i also have a chance to work first hand on alot of things in the office. which helps me alot to understand how a real office works. you do not really learn much of that in school. that is why im happy working here. and my boss is great and willing to teach me. that takes a lot of patience. especially when dealing with alot of recent graduates.

Cons

i really dont like the corporate feel to everything we do around the office. the safety requirements i feel are really ridiculous. i know safety is a big deal but i feel this company babies us into trying to be more cautious. which is ok. but not all the time. another downside would be, like in any other office, is the lack of communication between departments. i dont feel like that benefits a company at all. i dont like the office furniture, that can change. being a future manager. i think that helps the office enviorment to produce more.
