Pros

Got to work from home, make my own schedule, great pay, loved my supervisor, generous 401K plan. The only reason I quit was to go back to school. When I graduate I want to work for them again. That's how much I loved this place. When I was hired they flew us all out to LA for a training program, put us up in a gorgeous hotel, and gave us cash for meals. I met really great people there that I still talk to today.

Cons

If you think being off during the summer and Nov-Dec are bad things (like if you need year round work) then I guess this is a con.
