Administrative Assistant
Pros: My team was great.  I had a flexible schedule - they were more concerned about my work performance and I could take an appointment in the middle of the day if needed as long as I made up the time by staying late or coming in early.  I had the ability to work from home at times, which really helped the work-life balance.  They had great benefits, including education reimbursement and it was a place of potential career advancement.
Cons: I worked there when it was Sun Microsystems and we had several lay-offs.  It was a time of upheaval and stress and from an employee's perspective, it all seemed very disorganized, and lacking vision.
