Variety, being outside sometimes and inside at a desk sometimes. Don't think I'd want to be 100% either way.

Pros:
-Lots of vacation: I've been there 8 years and get 6 weeks of vacation/year.
-Good pay
-Performance bonus: 10% of pay (with additional money if our sister companies make their numbers.
-Able to work from home when needed.
-No need to use time off for half-days

Cons:
-Some clients are crazy.
-Being the main client contact means that everything that anyone screws up on my company is always my fault.

Oh, you know, it's a living.

I'm jealous. I travel roughly every other month for my job, but my only destinations are Louisville, KY, Reno, NV, and New Jersey. Hardly the Hawaiian islands. I used to have a client in San Diego and one in Boston and those were my only enjoyable trips.

I mean, it helps that I live in Oahu.

I grew up in an island and do miss island living. Seeing the ocean from the mountains is one of the best feelings in life.

It's amazing. My employees seem to not understand my wonderment since they've grown up here and it's just a regular sight to them.

My company vending machines have everything for a quarter. Chips, soda, candy, etc. All 25 cents

I do enjoy the 100% vesting on the employer 401k contribution. It pays every check and it's all mine.

I get to go to work. We have a bonus system that could get us up to 7.5% but the last few years we have only recieved 3% or less before taxes.
