Pros

Foosball Table - Not a perk for me because I don't indulge. However, this is ALL management talks about. "Come enjoy our Foosball table during your break!" Yea, how about no. Beer Fridays, casual work environment, free snacks, and drinks, free use of the gym. Location - Architect District. However that can be a con for many people outside of the city.

Cons

Notice how all of my pros had absolutely nothing to do with the job itself. Well because it sucks and I don't understand how people believe all of the hype. The training is worse than your most boring class in college and no one seemed to grasp the concept of hands-on-learning. Why hire a group of contract employees knowing that many of them will leave right after training? That is such a waste of time. Once you become a full-time employee, the hours are really inconvenient, and you don't have much of an option until you get "promoted." Also the pay is pretty below average for all that they expect you to do. I'm not drinking their kool-aid. Free food can only keep me for about a day. I don't blame this solely on LogMeIn because I know my recruiter could have done a better job at explaining what I was getting into. Again, all she talked about was the perks.
