Pros

Flexible work environment, you don't have your boss hanging over your shoulder. Great benefits - car, salary, 401k, health insurance. They do treat you well in terms of a severance package. So even if you get laid off you have plenty of time to look for a job. The car and free gas are the best perks - not having to pay for gas in this economy is a big bonus. If you get your work done then you can be home at a decent hour. They do have a good time at meetings - by that I mean lots of food and drinks and activities.

Cons

Lack of transparency, data integrity, quotas and rules are always changing. When reports are due they expect you to do them on your personal time. Some managers never tell you what you did well, only what you did poorly. They ask a lot of impossibles. Expect you to see no-see physicians all of the time. They have unrealistic expectations sometimes. POA meetings are the worst. A lot of time spent on preparing a 7 minute detail that you will never use. But if you say something you will be shut down. It's best to go along and just eat the free lunch.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
