Business Outlook

Pros

The flexible work day the 'billable hours' setup lets me pick how my time is allocated, which seems to result in more personal liberty and less micromanaging by managers

Cons

billable hours means if your work dries up, it can be a problem to find additional jobs where your help is needed

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation, and opportunity if you are willing to travel extensively. Excellent experience / opportunities for growth. A great resume builder.

Cons

It's sink or swim. Poor performance will relegate you to "C" player status causing stagnant opportunities. Very poor benefits. Worst I have seen.
