Pros

Some coworkers are great, very friendly. I have a lot of autonomy to implement certain projects.

Cons

Extremely low pay, poor career progression. Profit share is non-existent. You don't receive any appreciation for a job well done, nor are you recognized for your initiatives. Lots of legacy technologies, slow-moving company, management is a mess.
