Pros
The pay checks usually clear, but don't expect them to ever get larger.
Cons
The outlook for this company is grim; there is no money to do anything unless it is putting out a fire. In fact, that is the only way anything gets done is if there a breach, a failure, an emergency. The most unqualified people are watching the most critical systems. The most overqualified people are doing mundane tasks. There is no room to move, no chance to advance, no plan for improvement or training unless you are hired in far below your market value (then enjoy the training while you can get it). Things move slow where there are no fires. Vendors are brought in to do the serious, fun, resume-building work because noone wants to be set up for the blame game if something goes wrong. The best employees just disappear. No explanation and the ones left behind are often the ones that got fired somewhere else. This is simply the most toxic environment I have ever witness and I am ashamed to tell people I worked here as long as I did.
