Pros

Some are paid well. You get free continuing education courses.

Cons

HR is very nice but nothing is written down unless you are in a union. So, everything is up to the subjective nature of your supervisor. No lunchbreaks. Everyone is scared and overworked which means that they try to push their work on to you or blame you for delays.
