Pros

Ability to work from home. Casual atmosphere. Benefits are good. Overall nice co-workers who try to do a good job despite challenges.

Cons

Pay has been stagnant for years. No bonuses for non-sales staff. The enabling functions have been outsourced, long-term staff have been let go and there are now huge gaps in knowledge and competence in critical areas. It can be nearly impossible to perform basic business functions because no one has the knowledge or experience--or perhaps desire--to lead. The remaining staff are expected to do their own jobs as well as rectify the damage that the outsourced partners are inflicting on the company.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
