Pros

The company provides great training and there is a chance to progress quickly and be rewarded for your performance.

Cons

The culture of the company is very dog-eat-dog, and the pay is below industry standards, alongside very long working hours. A lot of your success is dependent on the desk you are put on, other than your own personal talent.
