Never a problem getting up for work on Monday
Pros: Work life balance could not be better, but if you take advantage of that option you won't move ahead or get pay raises

Colleges are smart, supportive, hard working
Cons: Expect nothing and you'll be happy.  Don't expect raises, bonuses, a meal with your team members.  

There is one thing to expect, anyway to save a dime they will.  For the last 10 years working from home IBM did not pay for any supplies (printers/toner/paper, pens....), internet (evennthough you may need higher bandwidth to run systems), peer awards (logo apparel) removed, stóp using tie lines and use phones join feature and for larger conference calls we were asked to stop calling in with the 800#.  All petty stuff which is the worst part.
