Pros

Very flexible work day. Come early, leave early, come late, leave early or late. For the most part they let you lead the project. Everyone gets along there amongst the employees.

Cons

Leasdership sometimes not the best. No real strategies. All other departments act like hourly employees. Leaving exactly on time even when there are big projects and deadlines. I've heard other positions don't pay well, but I don't have proof. A lot of politics but only among the executives.
