Pros

Unlimited PTO which still needs to be approved

Cons

Typical consulting. They'll take as much as they can from you and it's never enough. You get told how great you are and how well you're doing but it never gets reflected in your paycheck. If you're incompetent at a lower level, people won't tolerate or coach you. If you're incompetent at a management level, you get promoted and make other people tolerate you. Do you want to "donate" your time when you want to take a course to improve your skills, or even when your company makes you move offices down the street? Do you like working OT and being a "yes man/woman" and getting a raise below the inflation rate after receiving quarterly emails about how much profit the company is continually making? Come here if you'd like to stay stagnant in your career. A deputy activity manager who's completely useless and leaves questions marks as comments instead of providing feedback. And an activity quality manager that won't confront anyone but will make sure to chirp at your supervisor and everyone else what she doesn't like about you. Cant even handle confrontation - so useless managing anyone. Want to be guilted after taking sick time? Don't worry you'll get emailed to complete a task while you're out then be asked whére it is the day you get back. It's not all bad. Sometimes you get vendors that present their newest technology to you and give you free lunch and you get to see an overpaid senior technical expert fall asleep at the table during the presentation, but you give them a pass because you know they work hard because they literally charge every project but never really show the work they produced when you ask them to produce what they charged.
