Pros

Managers let you take the ball and run.

Freedom to make decisions, implement solutions, and manage your time on your own.

Good work/life balance.

Mostly nice people, with just a few "bad apples".

Fun atmosphere with potluck luncheons, picnics, bakesales, parties, etc.

Very little overtime required.

Often received a "Job well done!" from management.

Cons

Many boring, non-value-added meetings.

Too much red tape to implement change.

Difficult to advance once they have you in a job that you're good at.

Once you're good at what you do, they leave you in that position forever. People who can't complete their job are the ones who get promoted to something else.

Advice to Management

Don't pigeon-hole employees for performing a job well. Allow promotional opportunities.
