Pros

Depending on the team could be real good as you can do nothing all year and still get good compensation.

Cons

Only 1 group of people, if you are not them then don't even bother, you won't be hired. Long work hours, easily 50-80 hours if you are on a bad team. Management will say this is a good year and made X amount of profit but you will get peanuts

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
