Pros

- You will be busy. If you’re looking to work hard and show your talents, you will have the opportunity (don’t expect a lot of praise). - Great benefits. - Some really nice people.

Cons

- Some really difficult personalities and a lack of management response. (You should have tough skin.) - Don’t expect to move up if youre a staff member and you’re not in the BA or DC offices. - Perpetually understaffed.
