Pros

Great people, flexibility, options for full and part time, good collaboration among departments, location/easy to get to, able to work independently on a daily basis

Cons

Plans are always in motion for change, but never seem to go anywhere. Projects get started and never leave the ground or take forever because of the need for approval in input from too many administrators. Benefits for part-time workers are pretty much not available.
