Pros

The work/life balance is excellent. Tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of raising a family. Able to receive a good amount of responsibility in a short period of time.

Cons

Compensation transparency is virtually non-existent. Senior leadership is only concerned with reducing costs and passing audits. Sales force lacks training.
