Pros

It is steady work, so there's job security for the most part. The Company is pretty fair and most everyone is nice and helpful. Pretty good work life balance

Cons

Not a lot of career opportunities or room to grow or learn. Managers are hit or miss, you'll either get a really good one, or a not so great one. Little to no room for pay raises as you move into mid-senior positions.
