Pros
-Great overall goal (in theory, not practice) -Meeting great people (minus management)
Cons
-Free "food"- typically expired or questionable at best -Constantly fearing being fired for no reason at all -Pressure to work for free, I mean "volunteer", outside of your 40 hour work week which I was personally being paid $10/hour for when I have college degree -Lack of organization- was told when I started in September 2015 that the site was launching in November 2015. Just checked in and it's still not up. Not surprised in the least. -Management is ungrateful- you receive no recognition or real acknowledgement of your work -Being told "this is how we do it in the biz" when you question anything or accidentally apologize for an error (I'm pretty sure working in a run down basement on the NW side of Chicago with no actual output isn't the "biz") -Doing personal laundry, cleaning litter boxes and cleaning apartments when you were hired to do marketing/PR. You'll spend about 10% of your time actually doing so. -Disappointment in not seeing any progress made towards the goal of the organization. Especially when you took the job with the excitement of working for an organization you thought would be making a difference in the world.
