Pros

-There's always work to be done so there is some job security - flexibility to work from home is a plus

Cons

- 60-80 hr work weeks are normal - "do more with less" is the staffing model, it's very difficult to clear a request for additional staff and when people leave you will end up covering their workload in lieu of bringing in a replacement - senior management has little (if any) understanding of the product offerings and the complexity behind their development - information sharing is poor, there are hundreds of databases with information but nothing to connect them all under a single search engine (it's difficult to find info unless you know someone that's done what you're working on) - Nepotism and Good Ole Boy mentality makes it difficult to get through the day, be careful what you say and who you say it to - you have to "wear many hats" by being you're own requirements consultant, developer, tester, quality analyst, project manager and unit manager; there should be a better separation of responsibilities so employees can focus on their role and deliver the best results

Pros

- It's a job that pays pretty decent - The hours are not bad - I love the clients I handle - Most employees have awesome personalities, I work with great people

Cons

- Horrible training for new employees. - They tell employees the same day (or day before) that they have mandatory overtime all week. People do have lives outside of the job! - Management rates their employees based on how they feel towards them, not on job performance. - Eliminate all of the unecessary performance measures. Employees fail because you measure everything they do. - Unfair promotions; if you kiss butt and are a complete idiot, you will probably get promoted. - Overworking the best employees; I work with numerous people that have worked there 3+ years and have been a CSR the entire time, yet management uses them as trainers and supervisors. You lose good employees by overlooking them for promotions. - Management is BEYOND incompetent. They have absolutely no knowledge about anything other than "metrics".
