Pros

This is a sales driven environment, clients be darned. If you generate revenue, you can be well compensated. And if you cease to serve your clients, no one will care as long as you continue to post revenue. In fact, you can behave very badly and people will put up with it if you post revenue. But if your revenue is less than bullet proof, look out. They will cut your head off and come after you for every penny they can find.

Cons

No HR, no orientation, no mercy, no internal help, poor benefits, retched office environment. Need something internal? Good luck figuring out who to talk to. Need something for a client? Be prepared to pull teeth and twist arms to get it done. Navigating the IT systems? They're a mile wide.
