Pros

Good place to learn technical skills. Some really good younger staff.

Cons

Expectations of long unpaid hours, not an ideal place for growth in diverse staff, outdated bonus structure that appears to value the wrong things, lack of open communication, low salaries for those who actually do the work, lots of favoritism for those that sucked up to principals and put down younger staff, lack QC of work so not much to room to grow from mistakes, rather there seemed to be reward for those that blamed others for mistakes.

Pros

They treat their employees well with competitive pay and benefits. There are many opportunities to learn new things.

Cons

Due to a lack of work, I often worked far fewer than 40 hours a week. Since employees were paid hourly, this was unfortunate, as they had made it seem like I would consistently receive 40 hours. Even after I communicated that I was getting fewer than 40 hours, very little changed.
