Pros
Autonomous atmosphere, in the sense that you can take the ball and run with it. In a sense, you aren't pigeon-holed into one specific role
Cons
Management is all over the place! Everyday that you come into work, you constantly question what you should be working on and what your job responsibilities are!
LONG HOURS. Overworked and underpaid!
I was hired as a sales assistant, and felt that I was doing everything BUT selling. My days consisted of sitting up at the receptionist desk pretty much five times a week to cover the receptionist during her lunch break. That was maybe the busiest that I was on any given day of the week!
