Pros

-Lots of resources to help with your job -Sometimes they feed you breakfast at meetings -You have access to upper staff -There's enormous flexibility to come and go when you need or take an extended lunch sometimes

Cons

-Commission is based on goals which are nearly impossible to meet (they raise them 20-30% every year each month) -They continue to switch around the same managers they've had for years so there is never any new direction or ideas -They force you to pay for the paper in order to park, and you have to pay outrageous amounts for parking as well (between $65-$110) -Most of your technology is way outdated and your "new" technology has very limited access. (For example they purchased a couple ipads to use when checked out, but they won't let you download any apps on them in order to use apps such as Google Docs or Dropbox) -You can't get a decent ad created for your customers, which is not the artists fault as they're paid half of what we are and time and decent work is hard to come by when your understaffed and underpaid. -Turnover is insane which makes it very complicated to work a stable job. When managers leave it makes it difficult to keep track of what's going on, and when artists or assistants leave your left doing their work yourself or spending double the time in order to find someone who can do it.
