Pros

If you are a new grad, this is a good place to fill out your resume. You will be able to talk about any topic in future interviews. Cafe was pretty nice.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between the office workers and floor workers. As an ME, you will not get promoted if you do not look like the CMO. Disorganized, pitiful pay, long hours, in the middle of no where.
