Pros
Believer it or not, lack of having a training program is probably the biggest benefit at Telcom & Data. You'll be thrown into a crash course of "Figure it out yourself". STICK IT OUT!! Having to scrounge you're way through the process of how it all works will make you that much more proficient at the job. After at least a year, it'll certainly open the doors to a great career at a much more stable corporation (with a MUCH better salary; one that makes you WANT to go to work).
Another perk [that I experienced] are your co-workers. You'll grow a family-like bond; a support system more or less.
The building is beautiful. The neighbors are great. Gallery nights are a blast. It's close to Target, The Outpost, small shops of Bayview, etc.
Cons
Extremely stressful. Probably due to the fact that, for at least the first month or two, you have NO idea what you're doing (but you're expected to). Watch out for the temper that'll ensue!
No benefits; No health plan, no 401K, no student reimbursement, no nothing. There will be talks about it, but don't be fooled. It's not going to happen.
There's always "BIG things coming". This is a technique used to try to make you want to continue working here. Nothing more than that though.
