      Pros

      Easy, low stress environment. Flexible hours and could work at home once in a while.

      Cons

      Not very challenging. Often times found times where I had nothing to do and browsed internet

      Good for gaining knowledge and experience. Bad for balance

      Pros

      You get a lot of knowledge and experience, and you get to work on some interesting projects.

      Cons

      People frequently take credit for your work, and there is no balance in workloads between yourself and people with the same job. You can could be working on ten complicated projects, and the person next to you could be working on five simple ones. You get paid the same. The reward for doing more is usually just more work, not promotion. They try to keep the "work horses" working, and promotion does not benefit Management's short-term goals.
