Pros

Moderate management control, possible flexible hours, decent pay, depending for what.

Cons

Too much politics, growing nepotism. Moderate compensation, constant talk about budget restrictions. Endless performance reporting and evaluation.

Pros

Team work at the front line level is outstanding, but mostly because they are the only people you can count on.

Cons

Politics and hidden agendas. To say that IT leadership is lacking would be an insult to the word lacking. The new CIO and the cronies he has brought along with him have destroyed what was once an outstanding group of professionals. Outsourcing, lack of communication, and unrealistic expectations-bordering on incompetence are now the orders of the day.

Pros

Good Pay, that is about it. Work-life balance used to be good, but less and less as more people get cut and you have to cover their job as well.

Cons

Live from quarter to quarter wondering if you are going to be laid off. New IT management team is just cutting people to save money, with no view towards maintaining customer sat or infrastructure.
