Pros

Flexible work schedule. Sick days are accumulated separately from vacation or personal days. Independent daily work free from management oversight.

Cons

No pay for performance or raises and little room to advance. Senior leadership does not seem to care about how policy affects field staff nor do they offer regular training on changes. Things are continuously changing and counselors are expected to handle regular duties with new job responsibilities and requirements added whenever a new change rolls out.
