Pros

I have had great opportunities to engage in activities that I enjoy. In my position I get a good degree of variability of tasks, which I highly enjoy. I can work from home if needed. They have a solid benefits package and I have enjoyed some of the friendliest and knowledgeable coworkers I could ask for.

Cons

Pay is low for tech workers compared to many other sectors. Advancement is slow and seems to occur on a time table rather than on performance and readiness. Even if management wants to advance you, many times they are handcuffed by what corporate will allow. Even with being able to occasionally work from home, they have made it very clear that they are not authorizing full remote work
