Pros

Room to move around within the company. They encourage anyone starting at the bottom to work their way up. There are many different departments as well that are suitable to start a career with. Also have great benefits, starting at working only 20 hours per week.

Cons

Have to sometimes deal with very unpleasant and irate customers. You're also constantly maintaining the department as customers tend to make it very unorganized, especially on the weekends.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
