Pros

If you work with data, there is so much to do, so much to learn and so many challenges. With Internet and Cable TV, the opportunities to develop new and exciting systems are there.

Cons

Management only cares about cutting costs and not competing. They are outsourcing every job they can to save a few dollars. They are paying for the cheapest possible labor in India - really. Unix admins have to be told how to mount drives by Project Managers. If there isn't a Windows Wizard, most of them can't do anything, and they are being placed in charged of major systems.
