Pros

If you take advantage of the discounts, you can save a good bit of money. You definitely get recognised for doing good work and you can quickly earn respect throughout the company if you earn it. Comp time is easy to arrange if you have a decent manager.

Cons

60-80 hour work weeks are not uncommon during crunch times. You can usually take off a good chunk once the flames die down but Amazon would work you 24 hours a day if they could. Overall, IT staff are stretched thin and severely underpaid for what they are expected to accomplish.
