Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits. Very good starting wages (for marketing, anyway). If you put in the time up front, you'll get a month vacation time a year. People are very friendly, and in the marketing department, everyone seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. They also have a gym on the grounds and a cafeteria with great food.
Cons
Corporate atmosphere. Lack of creativity. If you live in the Chicago proper, the commute is hellish. You must take the metra or drive. By metra or car it's at least 1 1/2 hours commute each way. And that's not when it's snowing. Maybe the place could be more creative, but it is, after all, a financial institution and they're not known for being fun or for making creative leaps in the art world. It's about money.
