Pros

- Decent pay - Job security

Cons

- Constantly frustrated with open ended discussions between myself and my management - Unrealistic deadlines and expectations - Many people in the company use the excuse of "I don't know". The work is then left to fall on the people that do with no repercussions for the people that don't. - Lots of wasted resources spent "putting out fires" with no intention of fixing root cause. - Very negative culture. - Extremely low moral - Lack of management competence - Much of the work completed is just to put on a show. In other words, management doesn't know what to do therefore they throw resources at the problem to say that they are doing something. Most management spends their entire days on useless conference calls rather than managing their department.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
