I love most everything. The minor aspects I dislike are alleviated with salary

Pros

There are always new challenges. Work doesn't get dull. I feel appreciated. There are opportunities for movement within the company. People are willing to help others out.

Cons

There is no separation of development and support. I would say the average work week is 40-45 hours if you stay focused. But when rotating through primary support, you are expected to be available 24/7 for the duration (1-2 weeks at a time).

It is not always a steady 9-5. Some days a crisis hits and it can be closer to a 24-hour day, even though the week still balances to around the low 40 hours a week.

Advice to Management

Overall good work. A separate development and support role would make this job perfect.
