Pros

The pros are I really enjoyed my job and the people I worked with. I still talk to all of them.

Cons

I worked there for a year but found limited opportunities for growth or fair compensation. When additional responsibilities such as room cleaning were added to my role, I requested a modest raise, which was declined despite already being paid below the standard rate for receptionists.
