Pros

I've had a very positive experience. The help desk was able to respond to some of my questions pretty quickly, I like the functionality and my emails look good.
Mailchimp is very great software. I like how it's easy to interface, and how you can clean the data.
I like how Mailchimp keeps track of my audience and helps me categorize them for different types of emails. I also like being able to create appealing and interactive emails for my viewers.

Pros

Easy intuitive use for people with basic graphic skill. We get great prices for sending out lots of newsletters, weekly, so, it is better for active users with lots of clients.
It also helps that they have a blog that they consistently update for great tips and guide so their users (and everyone in general) can be updated.
Simply copy and paste the content and the program takes care of the rest, has many options for managing subscribers and is super easy to learn to use.

Cons

I have had instances where the emails sometimes end up in the spam folder or promotions folder, which can be annoying and needs to be figured out.
Mailchimp is used by many which means that spam filters are more likely to tag your emails as spam. I did not have any other problems with Mailchimp.
For a company that's been around as long as Mailchimp has, it's crazy to me how bad the UX/UI is. It's just hard to use so much of the time.

Cons

Storing uploaded pictures for reuse with other campaigns. A SPAM score that tells you how likely it is that your mail will be marked as SPAM.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find what I'm looking for when I'm navigating their site.
Activetrail has its problems but when you get used to them, it works.
