Pros

Travel, flexibility, a lot of opportunities to develop leadership

Cons

They take advantage of you by expecting to train people above you. Any type of growth is stripped based on your location and not performance. Pay-cuts constantly happening and budget cuts.

Pros

Like many event-centric companies, Spartan runs lean. This is a massive opportunity if you are a self-starter. You will often be handed responsibilities that fall outside your exact job description, allowing you to build a very diverse resume quickly.

Cons

Because it is not a massive corporation, the hierarchy can be somewhat flat. There are only so many Director or VP roles available, meaning you might hit a ceiling where you have to wait for someone to leave before you can move up officially.
