Pros

Flexibility for work/life emergencies (though less for day to day balance)

Cons

Consistent trend of internally promoting people to management who didn't have enough skills to perform their initial jobs or contribute to their teams. Instead of putting low performer on PIP or letting them go, they would promote to team lead. No performance evaluations or goal setting. No expectation of growth or career development. Multiple years without even an annual cost of living wage increase. More recent focus on bonus plan that was consistently not achieved.
