Get to be my own boss and set my own hours. As long as your customers are taken care of.

Cons

You can only bank 120 hours sick time. So if you do see use it after that you lose it.

We respectfully disagree with your concerns of being profit-centric only and regret that this was your experience leaving our organization. While we are a financially healthy publicly traded company on the NYSE, we do not condone meeting goals by any means. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
