Pros

no stress; extreme schedule flexibility; great travel opportunities; little competition from peers, easy to stand out; convenient commute; relaxed atmosphere; job security (if contract in place)

Cons

abundant incompetence at all levels; impossible to get fired, so entire departments are dumbed down as good people leave for better places while the unemployable remain; no ambition for finding new work as contracts wind down; not a merit-based organization

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
