Pros

Their "pay rates" might be good, but they will tie up your schedule in odd ways.

Cons

Checks may be sent early at times, but then sometimes you may get a payment way late and good luck trying to get a human to help you or give any type of legal respect to what "payment terms" mean. This is because projects are consolidated onto a check. You never really know when you will get payment, so you begin peeping out your window for the mail carrier. They have some convoluted explanation why they prefer not to use PayPal for US freelancers.

Pros

They give young people a job out of college. You'll learn what sort of company to avoid in your next job.

Cons

This was one of the most toxic, bizarre workplaces I've seen. As someone with a dozen years of work experience coming into this place that's mostly staffed with 20-yr-olds I was impressed naivete. It's a shame these kids consider this environment ok, great even. They're worked really hard for little pay, but maybe that's NYC until you learn to stand up for yourself.

Pros

Young office and great people You will learn a decent amount This taught me to REALLY appreciate past and future jobs/companies

Cons

Understaffed, underpaid unless you are extremely senior. Compensation is almost pyramid scheme-esque. Your first 3-5 years in this sale role you will be making anywhere from a quarter of a percent to (max) two percent commission while your manager or director makes the other 9%. INSANE. 60-80 hour weeks for 40k/year
