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

Pros

Locations, Hours, Benefits and an opportunity to move on.

Cons

Declining corporate values and erosion of ethics have created an environment where employees are inclined to go "native" in search of better place to work.
