Pros

Work-life balance was great. They never forced you to work overtime. A 40-hour work week was all that was needed, and it was not held against you for promotions.

Cons

Commuting to NYC was brutal during rush hour, both ways. I recommend taking the train.

Some senior managers are not that knowledgeable about all aspects of who they manage.

Advice to Management

Hopefully, management can read this right now. I hope they get smarter because they are really ignorant to the needs of lower-level associates.
