Pros

calm work environment, professional pleasant coworkers, company buys lunch once a week, birthdays are celebrated, flexible if you need to leave work early or arrive late to take care of life outside of work

Cons

the job can be done in less hours. The rate of pay isn't worth a full time position in atlanta because you cannot make 3x rent for anywhere in the city. I lost food assistance but couldnt afford food, so you get put in a tight spot if you dont live with parents or have a partner. They expect everyone to learn each others jobs, but there is no specific training. You learn as you go and expectations are unclear otherwise.

Pros

Entrepreneurial company that works hard. I like that the harder I work the more I get rewarded. I also don’t like to be micromanaged so it’s cool because if I manage myself there is a lot of freedom. I recently moved into a role where I also get to manage some other people and I like to be a team lead. It’s just cool how if I do well and ask for more I get more so I like the company.

Cons

I have to be on my game and if I don’t manage myself the boss comes in and corrects me so it’s a good and a bad but definitely like the freedom.

Pros

I worked with Dover Solutions during my summer break and it was a great experience. I joined initially to learn more about marketing and promotions, but I learned way more than I had bargained for. Aside from marketing/promotions, I also learned about business overall, management styles/techniques and also got to attend a conference. I learned how to come out of my shell and network with colleagues in order to become better at my job. I really enjoyed the team that I worked with. You can tell that they're excited when they come into the office in the morning and they're genuinely excited to see you as well. I felt at home in the office and I hope to come back again after my final year of college.

Cons

Since the company isn't a large company, the CEO and managers have a lot more time to invest in you. However, that also means that sometimes you'll be asked to wear multiple hats if someone calls in sick or can't perform their duties. I feel like that's what makes you grow as a professional, though, but I can see how that would irk some people.
