I am waiting on my 3rd interview with one company, but they keep telling me "next week" and then I don't hear back. It is extremely frustrating.

I'm going to message you....I may be able to help.

The Pros: - Higher salary
- Growth potential
- Familiar with the rendering software I use
- Commission incentive (was not offered in my previous firm)
- Smaller office in South Florida; headquarters in Central Florida
- IRA match at 3% (same as my previous firm)
The Cons: - Longer commute (double my previous firm)
- Some negative online reviews (poor organization)
- Only 50% health insurance coverage - I pay the other 50% (my previous firm paid 100%)
- Almost certainty of longer hours
All in all, I'm taking this as great news, relieves a lot of pressure already.
I'm still waiting and hopeful to hear back from other, more local offices, but very thankful for having an offer already.

Congrats. This is the way I look at your situation "right now" There is no bad job offer.
1-you can always contribute to their improvement on the reviews and be a hero
2-if something comes up down the road that is a better opp you cant decide at that point
3-who the heck knows what is going to happen come Jan/Feb with the new regime, I can't imagine it would be a time anyone would want to take a chance being out of work
