Young workforce. Work-life is good. Not challenging. If you are good,you can be promoted quickly.

Staff disinterested for the most part. Profit not people important. Huge turnover. Poor recruitment. Unfair pay scales. Some people maybe a lower level but get paid more. Starting wages poor.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
