Pros

Polk has a very laid back culture. There are a little less than 100 employees right now, which means you can take on a lot of responsibility (i.e. assignments) and learn many new things. Baltimore is an affordable city with plenty to do. It's a fun job and there's a lot of camaraderie.

Cons

There are limitations to working in such a small company. First, you don't have the brand recognition of a large company on your resume. Second, there is not much room for growth. If you want to be promoted, you need to take your boss' job. Salaries are modest.
