Pros

I did like having a flexible schedule. If I needed to leave early or take an extended break to take care of things I could make up the time without using any PTO. That's really about it.

Cons

Even before I lost my job due to the pandemic I was looking for other jobs. I was passed over in many other roles I had applied for and was getting tired of it. I left a job where the people begged me to stay for this. In hindsight I would've stayed at the job I was at before. My raises were pretty poor as well.
