Pros
Location: near public transit and in a great area of town near lots of bars and restaurants (so that you can drink your sorrows away after a terrible day). People: the people you work with will all be in their early to mid-20s which means you should have a lot in common with the people you work with. Everyone is pretty much recent grads and you all will have a lot to talk about since everyone complains about working at Capital all day every day Resume booster: you will get to do a lot of various tasks (mostly because the company is incredibly understaffed) which means if you can stick it out for a year or two, you will have of experiences to draw on future job interviews.
Cons
Pay/Vacation: HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. For how many hours you work, you get paid nothing, but management seems to think they are paying you so well. Vacation time is limited. Since the company is understaffed you have to request time off months in advance and it is very likely even with months notice, your leave request will be denied, especially around the holidays. Hours: 8 to 5:30 every day. If you aren't in the office by 8:01 every morning, expect a mean nasty email from the CEO chastising you, and don't expect to leave on time either. Most employees, if they left at 5:30 were looked down upon. Most people stay until after 6 PM just because they have too much work. Lunch breaks - ha! More like run out the door, and grab something in the 30 minutes you are "allowed" to take every day. Also, expect to request time off if you want to come in/leave early for a doctors appointment. Even if you need to leave 15 minutes early, they will dock your vacation time. And expect to work nights and weekends - not optional, but required. Management: All super young, which means they have no idea how to actually be managers. They do not understand the line that needs to be walked between friend and manager. One moment they are joking about their weekend and then the next minute yelling at you for messing something up. Career Opportunities: After 1-2 years, there is no where for you to go in the company. There are the entry level employees, people who have been there for 1-2 years (which is a long time and these employees are considered senior-level employees) and upper management. There is no middle management. They may pretend to put you in a "management" position but you actually have no authority. They micro-manage everything. Lastly, this company has no ethics. While I was employed at Capital we were tasked with writing fake reviews about the company on Google. This was directed by our CEO who approved each comment before it was posted. I think it is a little suspect that 2 negative reviews were posted about Capital, then a bunch of very nice reviews (with no cons included) were posted. Wonder if the CEO directed employees to write fake reviews here as well?
