Pros

The incentives of salary, bonus, perks, and flexibility in work schedule are reasons to enjoy this job. The subject matter is often interesting, as is interacting with college professors.

Cons

No matter how you dress it, this is a sales job at a for-profit company. Much to the chagrin of many hard working employees, the end-of-day focus is on pleasing shareholders through increased profits, not on improving education. As such, the aforementioned flexibility in work schedule quickly evolves into perpetual work with a rapid decline in personal time.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
