Pros

Flexible schedule. Allows alternate schedule opportunity. Salary is ok.

Cons

What you get for flexible work hours you lose in salary, opportunities, and fear of layoffs. Always broke, layoffs every 2-4 years. Really have to buy into the " your lucky to have a job work harder and you won't have to worry about it" mentality. Management heavy, only care about employees who want to be managers. Have no clue how to mentor individual contributors. Play favorites have no clear promotion guidelines, depends all on your boss to promote you and they have to argue with other managers why you deserve it even though they don't know you. Literally have no mission statement or values. Which plays into the shoot from the hip policy's they implement. Seems to just be figuring it out as they go. At least 30 percent of your job if not more is overhead. Training interns and contractors or vendors. Don't invest in IT. Brag about having one of the lowest budgets for IT at a large company level. Have even flirted with making IT employees buy their own laptops for work. Have a program for incoming new employees for leadership just have to sign up they have no qualifications outside of other new employees do but they are put on a pedestal and pegged for management. Makes no sense and creates a rift between employees.
