Pros
Masochist's Dream - If you truly hate yourself and take pleasure in being abused over insignificant minutia, this is the place for you. You will develop a wartime-like bond with your co-workers, as you suffer and survive each day's assault on your intelligence, skill, and personality. No need for professionalism or propriety. Weekly lunch appears generous at first, until you realize it is simply a self-aggrandizing venue through which management can berate employees publicly. Office is close to the train.
Cons
Every day is a nightmare. The wannabe Anna Wintour is a true horror to be around, and every day you trade a portion of your soul for a meager piece of cash. Workplace hazards abound, with illegally tight walkways and freshly deposited cigarette ash a common sight. You are expected to worship management and profusely thank them for your job, or you're deemed "ungrateful" and given extra hours and impossible tasks. More often than not, employees are treated as personal labor, and brought from the place of employment to one person's home to perform menial labor and cleaning. Parking can be difficult in winter.
