Pros

Pay is decent (especially with OT) but nothing special. I could probably make more working elsewhere. Work schedules are flexible and allow me to run errands in the middle of the day. I can take frequent breaks without anyone noticing. When I look around and see all the old people, I feel young and that makes me happy. They have yellow bikes you can ride when you're bored. I basically spend the bulk of my day surfing the web, checking facebook, and looking for creative ways to pass the time. And yes, they pay me to do that.

Cons

Work is NOT challenging. Most of it seems pointless. I would probably get rid of half the people since it seems like a lot of people do nothing. I can usually get most of my tasks and projects done pretty quickly, but then I have to figure out how to kill time the rest of the week. It's hard to stay motivated. Management seems moronic. There's an art to looking busy and it seems management can't tell the difference between those that work and those that pretend to work. I have friends that work tons of OT (even weekends) and are still level 1's, yet I've gotten promoted twice for doing nothing, just because I've had managers that liked me. It truly is like Office Space.

Pros

Great worklife balance structure in place but..... when your manager is incompetent and forces employees to "work" long hours (I say "work" because a lot of time is spent on non-sensical gibbering and talking in circles to appear as they know what they are talking about) you kind of resent your office and can be quite stressful

Cons

Incompetence is ignored; managment should consider adding a component to the review process where employee's rate their reporting manager. The managers may actually learn something and take some corrective action.
