Pros

Flexible work schedule including work from home as needed/desired

Cons

Management at all levels renege on their promises, from earned retirement pensions and medical benefits to earned comp-time. For example, at 2nd line management direct request I put in over 400 hours of unpaid overtime over a 3 month period to help get a hot project out and when I went to use the banked time after project completion, per prior management agreement, management denied it and allowed me to have NOTHING. Working 60+ hours per week, my raises average 1.1% for the last 4 years. Insufficient return on investment for this job.
