Pros

Benefits are very good overall, vacation policy is good (if you can use it)

Cons

Job requirements, hours, and expectations are very misaligned with salary. No recognition or reward for endless hours/days/months of personal sacrifice, no down time, no recognition/reward for going over and beyond to meet impossible schedules.
