Pros

Looks great on your resume. Good practice with several computer programs. Don't really have to talk to anyone all day (which can also be a con) They'll take just about anyone for this position if you're comfortable with computers.

Cons

Cons- The VERY small pay, the hard work, terrible hours, and the lack of socialization between employees. Out of the 5 people in my training class, two people were fired by the second week for "not keeping up" although they were doing a fine job. Apparently this company drops people like its nothing. I've never seen a company so disconnected in my life. I had 3 trainers in 5 weeks who all didn't know what they were doing except one. Just save yourself and don't waste your time. You're better than this company. Left on my own after a few weeks when I realized how bad this company was. How are people actually still wanting to work there....

Pros

Experience Free training Microstation V8i AutoCAD Overtime No dress code

Cons

~advanced.1 is a sweatshop~ Overworked and underpaid -- 56 hrs/week at $13/hr; NO RAISES Male dominated company Poor management Poor scheduling -- telling you on a Friday that you must work overtime all weekend Favoritism -- managers have their favorites/choose their friends for new training and higher positions Very long shifts No rewards for good work Temp to hire to abused; they rarely hire, even the best drafters Harsh, production based environment Coordinators, QCers and drafters were intoxicated at work on many occasions Entire teams of temp-to-hire have been fired without warning My review is based entirely on the actions that I witnessed over the course of 2 years. People in charge will not respect you. Advanced is a good company to get some job experience in if you're interested in making a career out of drafting but I would NEVER recommend falling for their career traps. You can make a lot more money at other companies using the training that they give you. Basically, it's like going to prison and coming out a skilled worker :-)
