Pros

Flexible hours Stable income Great health care benefits Great 401k match

Cons

Not stable--always worried you might get laid off Coworkers not really friendly--selfish As you slowly climb the corporate ladder, the less work/life balance there is. Upper management isn't the greatest Little room to grow or get a promotion Little to no diversity Got rid of work from home for employees within a certain radius--started as 3 days a week, now extending to 4 days.
