Pros

It is a fast paced and buzzy atmosphere. If you like to keep busy and prefer an environment where you have lots of variety you will be in the right place. Coffee machine and ping pong yes, but it is the people who make the place special.

Cons

Not for the faint hearted and you do need to bring something to the mix. There is no free ride and for sure there are easier ways to land a pay packet.
