      Pros

      allow you to work from home 2 days a week

      Cons

      work life balance is horrible. The work week is 37.5 hours, but you are expected to work 40 to 50 hours a week.

      No work/life balance

      Pros

      Great benefits and the people I worked with were wonderful. Great managers who are supportive. PTO and insurance benefits were the best I've seen.

      Cons

      No work/life balance. Have to be on-site at least 8 days (was this at the time I was working there), but I was not regional and traveling all over the country. It turned out to be about 12 days a month and that did not count the travel days. I was experienced which was bad because they took advantage of that and I had to fill in for all the people who would quit. Was working around the clock just to meet my metric. They did not value their employees.

      Pros

      Compressed schedule, co-workers are nice.

      Cons

      Work load is tremendous for some, depending on your study. No recognition for going the extra mile and working additional hours. Changed vacation, sick and personal time to PTO which meant a loss of 5 to 8 days a year. Increase in the amount you pay medical benefits. Not a fun place to work.
