Pros

Flexible hours. Sometimes exciting. Not that much overtime. Flight benefits are great when you can get on a flight.

Cons

Morale is generally low right now. We haven't hired externally in several months and the other employees are beginning to feel it.

Pros

I have a short commute to work.

Cons

Flight benefits are no longer a perk--Can't get on a flight. Starting at the Managing Director Level, mangement is treated like ROYALTY. All work must stop and we must focus on them whenever one of them expresses a desire for anthing. They have postive space travel and have NO idea what it's like to stand-by for a flight.

Pros

I live in Texas and it's close to where I live. Travel benefits sound good however unless you want to travel to Waco on Tuesday, it's tough to get anywhere. On occasion, you do luck out.

Cons

Losing money for years. CIO is a complete ass and therefore in a technology track it's tough to overlook how horrible your leadership is. Kill the messenger mentality, no innovation, fear and intimidation are how IT is run. Directors are not held accountable for gross incompetence. Endless freebies abound for VPs yet employees can't sit in a chair that's not broken. Most directors don't even know the names of their employees much less take an interest in development.
