Pros

I have a lot of authority on how projects are set up and managed. Management response to issues is very quick and effective. I can perform the technical work as well as the project management related work for my applications.

Cons

Salary tends to be a bit below market. Health care benefits are not as good as other employers in the area. There is ongoing pressure to relocate to Monroe, LA, even though I don't want to move there.

Pros

Overall a very stable work environment on the IT side. So many people involved with any given thing that it's hard to pin blame on anyone, so repercussions are usually just a severe talking to. Reasonable benefits and pay for the modern U.S. economy. Generally flexible hours and work environment.

Cons

Benefits being reduced every year, unclear strategic direction, extremely rough handling of CenturyLink->Embarq->Savvis->Qwest mergers. Monroe-based leadership and employees are 'there because they grew up there', and often are very underqualified for their titles...those that are skilled (and there are some outstanding ones) are often unappreciated because they aren't Christian enough.
