Pros

Flexible if you need to schedule around personal life

Cons

Poor Management Toxic Culture, No respect amongst management and direct reports. High school gossip culture, management included. Regardless of Years of experience and Graduate-level education, management will treat you like an entry-level employee, not challenging you at all, and they'll let you rot. Having an MBA means absolutely nothing in this company, per management.
