Not my cup of tea

Pros

Basic experience can be gained here.

Cons

Everything else is awful. The culture is toxic, the expectations are impossible and if you are knowledgeable you are not taken care of, you are expected to take on anything and everything with no understanding of workload and work life balance .

Pros

Countless opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. Amazing people, leaderships at all levels and plenty of chances to "level-up" and earn promotions with more money and increased responsibilities.

Cons

None that I can think of based on my 20 years of experience. Truly, anytime I have had feedback on things that can be done more effectively, I feel heard, respected and that I am given the opportunity to directly influence change.
