Pros

Good products, great training, great middle management. Great team with great synergy. Flexibility to take care of your own business without being micro managed.

Cons

The roller coaster of hiring one year, laying off the next. Unfortunate when projected earnings fall short, bottom line has to be improved by eliminating positions.
