Pros

My division had a 9/80 work week. This allows every other Friday off. They are pretty flexible on start and end times as well as work locations.

Cons

Work truly earn every cent of your paycheck. I stated that you can get every other Friday off but I rarely get the chance to take advantage of that. I work over 40 hours every week without fail and have for the past 8 years. There is only one person that can do "your' job so taking time off is very hard. You have to take your work on vacation with you most of the time (laptop, cell phone, etc). The deadlines are unreasonable and they try to get as much work out of one person as possible. It makes it very hard to be truly good at what you do when you are asked to do so much.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
