Pros

The travel the travel the travel. It is an amazing perk. Since they are headquartered out of Amsterdam, I got to go to Europe for the first time. I went to Amsterdam twice, Paris, London, and traveled through Brussels. I also went to Panama and Hawaii--FOR WORK. How cool is that? I also got to meet amazing people all over the world and see some pretty awesome hotels.

Cons

The pay is abysmal. The opportunities to advance are even more abysmal. This is (for the majority of people) not a job where you will be able to make a proper living / build a solid career. Also, it is notorious for office politics and for people to be promoted based on friendships and not merit. The work itself is also pretty tedious. Not difficult--just tedious. It is truly a daily grind.
