Pros

Mostly love working here! Most of my team have enough work to stay employed while working and getting real experience full-time elsewhere. They have cheap health insurance. As long as you fly under the radar enough you won't be given too much work from management. It's really great as a second income. All workers can go remote as long as your manager approves. Low stress levels and not bad pay for the work expected.

Cons

Not something you want on a resume but most people aren't there for that anyways. It does pay well enough to be a primary income.
