Pros

Depending on the team could be real good as you can do nothing all year and still get good compensation.

Cons

Only 1 group of people, if you are not them then don't even bother, you won't be hired. Long work hours, easily 50-80 hours if you are on a bad team. Management will say this is a good year and made X amount of profit but you will get peanuts

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
