Pros

Great work/life balance if you're in the right location. Advancement opportunities within the company and your senior managers will help you get there. Hands on experience managing people and making decisions on the fly. A caution to all, your experience with vary depending on the location. I've been very fortunate where I'm at, but I've heard horror stories from other people who are just putting in ridiculous hours to get the job done. Be prepared to give feedback to your employees and take a hands on approach. This position is not for people who are expecting to just look at a computer monitor and create reports all day. Your primary job function is to ensure the sales team is supported by managing your employees. Once you've got that down, you'll have the opportunity to devote more of your time towards your career goals.

Cons

Benefits NOT at the level of some other fortune 500 companies. Working on holidays (yes, that includes super bowl). Vacation policy.

Pros

The job has exceptionally great pay. The holidays and paid days off are tremendous. Very liberal budgets/deadlines, finish work at your pace.

Cons

Programmers from a generation ago when anyone could be hired as a programmer due to a programmer shortage have by seniority moved up into the ranks of management. The skill sets are far below par. Due to the excessive budgets there is no real accountability. If a one month project takes four months that's fine; six months is fine also; or eight. The excessive budgets leave management free to fill projects with cronies. So a project is loaded with 80% cronies who do nothing except create their facade.There is no incentive/reward to work hard. The senior people have done no work in so long I'm not sure they are capable of working any more. There is no one minding the store. Upper management is in Plano Texas. I haven't seen them in a long time, and never in the winter.
