Pros

The company culture is amazing! Had the opportunity to work on some great projects that made a difference. Summer Fridays have been implemented throughout the year so you can leave early as long as your work has been completed.

Cons

Not enough training and getting you up to speed on brand, duties, responsibilities, etc... Literally thrown in the ocean so you sink or swim.
