Pros

I will say some of the pros is that you work with flexible people. They are really helpful whenever you are in need. The leadership is constantly growing. Accepting of positive and negative criticism, they are willing to try and make improvements.

Cons

The communication can be awful at times, Sometimes the environment can give off clique type setup. Other than that you do your job your pretty much in an okay situation.
