Pros

Pay Holidays PTO You are able to move throughout the company fairly easily.

Cons

Management cares more about if you "look" busy and not if you actually are or on a break. As a salaried employee you are treated like an hourly employee. AEP has a tattle tale culture worse in some departments vs. others.
