Pros

Pay was there. Time away from the office was nice.

Cons

Management is negatively biased toward their people. Nasty pride that doesn't allow you to enjoy life. They feel you owe them and they are beyond reproach. The culture invades your home life. Management doesn't follow their own policies. They have contributed to the destruction of my life and family. Benefits are mediocre at best.
