Pros

The Pros are that this is a place where you will get some form of compensation to physically be present. On some level that has to be a positive.

Cons

First of all lets get this out of the way. "Amazing learning and growth opportunities" sure does sound like something Jason would task an employee of his to write. It's also exactly how he thinks. This place is Amazing! no one has ever left the company, Just your typical local company with local employees (India, what? who said that?), things could literally not be any better. I would take any positive reviews as the thinly veiled self promotion they likely are. If you're interested in learning antiquated practices, you hate communication, you love rushed, cobbled-together projects and enjoy working under a management team that will never listen to anything you have to say ...ever, then this is your place! For some reason they attract good, hard working individuals that are entirely under appreciated and under paid. Project Managers and sales people are the only ones who get respect. The people who actually produce anything are usually just overloaded and underpaid and rarely get anything in the way of a compliment, certainly not a raise. Sooner or later most of them get the idea that they aren't getting that ___whatever Jason promised___ . So they leave.

Pros

Lots of personal growth/learning opportunities. Good benefits, relatively flexible hours. You'll work with some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I've personally experienced multiple promotions and raises in the past couple years, and I feel like the company is doing a better job of compensating people fairly, even though salaries just starting out are on the low side. This company is still growing rapidly and changing all the time, which can make processes and stability seem non-existent for people who stick around, but the Golden Comm of even one year ago is radically different than what it's trying to be now.

Cons

Overly stressful at times, this company's idea of training is to give you a project and tell you to get started. Whether you like that or not depends on what type of worker you are. It can be extremely frustrating, but if you're independent-minded and catch on quick, it's not too bad because everyone is super supportive. Expectations can be pretty high at times, and the pace you're expected to work at can be ridiculous. Projects feel sloppy more often than not and messing up in some way seems par for the course. No one holds mistakes against you, since everyone is "learning". Like any agency, clients are constantly demanding things from you and generally making your life hard. It's an agency, what do you expect? Get in, get some experience, get out and work for a corporation so you can be the bully :) ...So, it's a mixed bag. The "start-up"-like environment here is definitely not for everyone, but as far as agency work goes, I've worked at much worse.
