Pros
You can work flexibly (no rigid work schedule; unlimited PTO), and benefits are good.
Cons
Imagine having a job that's clearly defined and that you're good at and enjoy--then going on parental leave--and coming back to work realizing your job has completely changed without your knowledge or consent. Soon, your responsibilities triple, you're handed a third-party agency to manage (which you've never done before), and your new leader doesn't take the time to say, "Hey, how do you feel about these changes? Are they in line with your professional development goals and skills? Do you feel comfortable taking on more? Let's look into some on-ramping or upskilling opportunities for you. Let's get you some more resources you definitely need. Let's create you a new job description." Instead, this new leader assumes you can do it all, without giving you any direction or additional resources, and expects you to triple your workload/responsibilities. You express your concerns, and nothing changes. You ask for an updated job description, and you don't get one. You're left managing an agency that doesn't understand the business and needs constant hand-holding when creating any deliverables. Everything you used to love about your role is gone, and leadership doesn't care. This new leader does not care about the people they manage. They care about the bottom line and pleasing the person they report to. The person they report to also does not care about the people that make this company run. I'm happy to be out of there.
