      Pros

      The people there are great! Most everyone are simply good people and are easy to get along with. If you are newly graduated and need some experience, this is the place! Nothing like learning with your feet to the fire. You will definitely leave knowing way more than going in if you put in your time. ** Word of advice going in - You're going to be incredibly low-balled during the negotiation process and you're not going to get a raise in the entire time your there ( that is if you're not going as a management). You'll get an annual merit raise of 2-3%. Negotiate your entrance salary as best as you can because that's pretty much what it will ever be. If you put in your 2 years, learn as much as you can, you'll get the major bonus elsewhere.

      Cons

      Most of the management have egos. There is no structure or processes to anything and not interested in putting one in place which creates a lot of confusion and inefficiency for the employees in support positions. There is no internal promotion on the support level, but management hands out promotions all the time no matter how well or not so well they've actually done. You'll be expected to do things outside of your job description, usually jobs your coordinator should be doing but simply doesn't want to do - so it's up to you, whether or not you know what your doing and if it's not done correctly, you WILL get chewed out for it.

      Pros

      -Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

      Cons

      -People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
