Pros

Working for FNST has been a great experience so far and I don't see that changing. Everyone in the organization makes you feel at home and is very approachable. There is lots to learn from the wealth of knowledge the management personnel posses.

Cons

There have not been really any downsides to joining FNST at this time.
