Pros: Fun work, fun team, lots of team building exercises, good motivation
Cons: Long, long hours. I was a part timer working 40+ hours a week, so overtime was awesome, but between that and school, it added up. I ended up in hospital and was fired, so I asked for preferential rehiring and HR informed me I had "never been fired". When I talked to a co-worker (a fellow Product Advisor) about it she forwarded the email she was sent, that DETAILED MY TIME IN HOSPITAL as the reason for my FIRING, sent from my BOSS. I quit after three months back because the work environment from then on was markedly hostile, as my managers viewed my unfiring as retaliation for them firing me.
