Pros

Great learning experience to start your career, which is what they're looking for anyway. As a project manager, you'll learn organizational, anticipatory, and vendor negotiation skills. Made some of my best friends here, we were in the trenches together.

Cons

Working hours were typically 9am-8pm on normal days. My busy days were 9am-12am. VP of Production was a bully, screamer and micromanager. Always wondered why he was so involved with the work of coordinators when he was at a VP level.

Pros

my team was very young, helpful and easy to talk to, opportunities to travel, casual workspace, insights into an interesting industry.

Cons

micromanagement by all levels of management, unclear and different messages given by different levels of management, forced to use private cell phone and laptop (+internet) for company work, inflexible work times, poor salary negotiation, very low base salary, unclear how to reach bonus payments (initial bonuses are actually a group effort), no adaptation to local market, huge amounts of cold calling, huge amounts of time spent printing/stuffing envelopes

Pros

Some of the people you meet are great because when they can, they hire really talented people and there are lots of offices all over the world. When you first interview, everyone puts on a positive face and tries to make it seem like this company is wonderful, even though most people can't stand it.

Cons

EVERYTHING else. This company and the leaders are greedy sales people. If they act like they care about you, it's only because they want to earn more money from you doing their work because they get a cut of everyone's commission. There is no work life balance because they expect work to be your life but you don't get paid for it. There are NO raises and although they are constantly telling people that you can earn big bucks if you work for it, that only applies if you are willing to give up your life or if you happen to be picked as someone's favorite and go along with exactly everything they tell you.
