Pros

With 25 years in IT, this is my favorite position so far. Every person I have met in IT has been excellent. I love my boss and my bosses boss and respect the CIO, though I haven't worked with her directly. Fair pay. Fair hours. Good benefits. Enough workplace flexibility. Staff size is relatively small, so there is a good variety of interesting things to work on.

Cons

"Staff size is relatively small". We still get the important things done however. I did take a pay cut to come here, but it was worth it.
