Pros

Work-life balance is good. You're treated as a professional as long as you meet deadlines. The mainframe is exciting, as soon as you accept that it's not going away.

Cons

Little to no formal training (must be a self-learner), a non-transparent pay scale and rating system. Managers don't seem to care about morale.
