Pros

The People were great, I like the company culture, and there were many opportunities for growth. I especially liked that my manager encouraged me to conduct informational interviews with managers and employees in various departments.

Cons

The way was not very great, especially for living in New York City. Being on hourly there were opportunities for overtime, however I would have had to work a lot of overtime just to be able to afford rent and living costs.
