Pros

Flexible working hours. The benefits are good.

Cons

IT management does not understand the concept of 'coaching' their associates Many projects in IT require shared resources yet timing is for support of these projects seems like it is secondary. This causes extra hours that are often above and beyond sensible. Even if you think you are doing a good job, watch out because it doesn't take much to get you targeted.

Pros

Flexible hours, asking for time off is not a struggle, telecommuting, no micro managing, easy and fast commute, ability to listen to music as you work

Cons

Good luck advancing at a normal rate if you're not related to someone in upper management. Sure, there are great opportunities throughout the company, but doesn't mean you actually have a good chance of getting them.
