Pros

Great Flexibility and time off

Cons

Management was not competent as managers ( great in their previous jobs but after promoted to manage others, no training was supplied). I felt that pay was inconsistent within the department. Salaries were dicussed and people that started around the same time had vastly different pay. Mine was higher than some and I felt they were taken advantage of.
