There are too many cons to list here. Be prepared to be taken advantage of, lied to, and gaslit by management, upper management if you have the audacity to ask for a career path or ways to work towards a promotion. I asked these questions and was never treated the same, was told that they want to "hire people not obsessed with money" and was even reprimanded for skipping a management level during an "open forum" meeting. Expect management to be offline during the work day and online at 3am sending you high priority emails, and expect to be asked to work outside normal work hours. Be prepared for management to not help or answer any questions, and instead be told to figure it out yourself. Be prepared for management to ignore emails from difficult clients, and leave you to deal with the fallout in meetings. There is great work/life balance opportunities for employees with children (unofficial reduced hours, being able to take meetings at children's parks, blocking off all time on calendars due to children, etc.), but if you are not a parent you are treated as if there is so reason to want the same treatment. Being a high performer means nothing to this company if you aren't a mother, and you will be punished for good performance by being thrown more work and given more projects because you "have time".
