Pros

The people who do all the low level and grunt work that makes the company money.

Cons

Management. Favoritism runs rampant in the company. People working on product that get cancelled get moved to successful product because of favoritism. The employees that worked on successful products that bring in the money but aren't buddies with management are laid off. You are expected to work lots of overtime but nothing to make up for it, maybe an additional day off at some point. Lots of empty promises from management.

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.
