      Pros

      Flexible hours as long as you get all your work done well and on time

      Cons

      Some departments have contract workers and they come and go. So you'd have to teach newbies numerous times

      Working in a culture of retribution and dysfunction

      Pros

      The company has really good benefits (insurance, tuition reimbursement, on-site workout facility, on-site cafeteria). Easy access to the highway.

      Cons

      The company seems to foster a culture of inadequate preparation and then severe retribution if you make any mistakes. Other than the "star" salespeople, if you make a mistake, you stand a good chance of losing your job, even if you are still learning. There is little support, little training, and I feel like I've been thrown in the deep end and told to "sink or swim." Efforts to collaborate and innovate are absolutely squelched. It's a "shut up and work" kind of atmosphere, with disdain from the top down.
