Pros

very flexible able to work from home lot of free time

Cons

lot of free time doing nothing, very boring after a while. low pay no chance to move up unless you leave the company and try to come back, most of the managers and vps in my group did that high turnover no training upper management seem not care for new employees a lot of the work is out sourced to India so we have less and less work to do.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
