Mainframe SUpport
Pros: Interesting work and is challenging at times.   You are self-directed. You set your own work efforts since you know what needs to get done.  There is no one looking over your shoulder all the time.
Cons: There are layoffs all the time.  Always wondering if you are going to get selected.  Being good at your job may not save you.  IBM is sending jobs overseas to reduce cost.  And a lot of those people are not as good as who they replace, if that person gets replaced.  The motto is 'Do more with less', so the quality of the work suffers and management does not seem to care.
