Pros

Ability to work from home was a pro, apparently that's no longer allowed.

Cons

I joined Allstream two weeks before it was acquired by Zayo. In their rush to save money by shutting down systems and trying to run an enterprise on Salesforce (where it becomes Salesfarce) they threw away data they were legally bound to keep for 7 years. I was kept on, despite my salary being over double what they generally pay Salesforce developers, because they had commitments to the Government to produce specific, custom software. The moment that software was completed I was let go. Ironically, 3 months after being laid off I received a performance bonus for my work.
