Pros

Good Benefits and pay. I am sorry that those are the only pros I can think of at the time. But if you need a job no matter what, Anything will do.

Cons

Management only seems to be worried about the almighty dollar. You are expected to work (but they wont actually say it) 50-60 hrs or "whatever it takes" in a salary position and just take it with a smile.
