Great place to start your career
Pros: -Great company, very well organized with an emphasis on making a tough job easier on the employees
-Great benefits
-Young environment
-Great experience: A lot of different types of work, great training, you really do learn a lot in a short period of time
Cons: -The hours. Unavoidable in the industry, but busy season hours are as brutal as everyone says they are. 70+ hour weeks, working until 3 am sometimes during the week...that's no way to live
-Pressure to stay utilized: Even if you happen to not be busy, there's always a lot of pressure to stay busy, so you can't even enjoy the downtime.
-Along the same lines, while the compensation is above average compared to most jobs, you are not at all fairly compensated for the amount of work you do. No OT catches up to you real quick.
