Pros

Decent hours. That's really it. Everything wise now sucks. I hate being micromanaged

Cons

Beancounters just hit us with super micromanagement. Gotta log hours to the minute. Can't pull up our systems ahead of time. Can't do this. Can't do that. They don't pay us enough for this job. Oh gotta be careful you don't get overtime. I was enjoying my job. Not anymore. Time to hunt for something new.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
