Pros

It's a job and it pays.

Cons

Very poorly managed No leadership No guidance No established and applied company wide practice standards and procedures Low pay Poor Benefits Lack of experienced and unqualified management who make poor decisions which ultimately cost clients money and employees their jobs. Some one grossly under bid work and exaggerated progress on an unobtainable schedule, when the milestones couldn't be reached due to lack of information required management refused to address the problem instead choosing to ignore it and allow the problems to mount. Time and money eventually became and issue so they made the decision to cut staff instead of own up to their mistakes. Management kept their jobs, and continue to make the same mistakes while discouraging valued employees and competent staff.
