No work/life balance. It's like being chained to a company. I thought Lincoln freed the slaves.

Pros

Decent salary, but given the "real" hours that you spend on the job (taking your laptop home and logging in for 4 to 5 hours a night) I think my salary was much less than I am getting now.

Cons

Where do I begin....Branding our name???? I wonder how many people lost their jobs to pay for this foolish endeavor. This is one of the reasons I left. That and the fact that I had to log on every day after our 8:30 to 5:30 day. Seriously??? Guess what people, they just took away your lunch hour. Little things like that made me wonder if I made the right choice by joining them. After 8 years, I went to Cablevision and I couldn't be happier. A 9 to 5 job with no laptops!!! When I come home I can play ball with my son and not tell him "Sorry Daddy has to log on for a few minutes". Those minutes would turn into hours. No work/life balance. My advice to people would be to find another job. I did, and even though I'm making less money, it has made all the difference. ;)
