Pros

Access to slack community for support.

Cons

No standards are enforced for student code of conduct. Students can threaten and have unrealistic expectations of their mentors helping them find jobs. The curriculum only focuses on visual design and copy work. Professional skills are not high enough level for corporate jobs or further growth. This is a for profit start up with no educational standards.
