Pros

Free drinks. My coworkers were very nice people, and I've kept some friends. Pay was ok. Experience luckily lead to a much better career move in under one year.

Cons

Under trained, under staffed, the Breadcrumb software itself is super buggy, ignored by upper management, no 401k matching. Overall, working for Breadcrumb was extremely stressful. We were never sure when something was going to break and we were going to get hundreds of emails and phone calls from merchants about it. Developers ignored our concerns, as did our managers. During my last few weekly there, we had a number of outages in the software, costing merchants an incredible amount of money. Breaks and free time to get away from the intense stress are limited. If you see a job ad, run the other way and don't look back.
