Pros
Very flexible with your schedule. Pleasant coworkers and always helpful. Getting to see your hard work become a tangible thing. Reasonable people that will listen to your concerns. Pto was lenient if you submit your request far enough in advance. Will need to do some overtime but not excessively.
Cons
Disorganized. Severely understaffed/over bid projects. A ratio of 5:2 projects managers to drafters. There's a lot of work but no one to draw it for the clients. Pay is lower than average for the area and for experience level. I was started barely above the minimum wage with a 4 year degree in the field. Turnover is somewhat high. I've been around the longest out of almost everyone in the office. I've seen 2 project managers and 2 drafters come and go within weeks of being hired. People that work hard are paid low and quit or get let go, yet people that cause issues in the workplace are allowed to stay. In my field there's not really a way to move up.
