Pros
Pay, benefits, profit-sharing, and a Monday-Friday work schedule
Cons
Everything else. Supervisors and Managers make errors and run their respective departments very poorly every day but get promoted. Employees who make errors are fired. With very few exceptions, the worker-manager relationship is one of the most adversarial I have ever witnessed. Employees don't trust management (righfully so) and as stated managers and supervisors treat the employees like dog dirt on the bottom of their shoes. I can count on one hand the number of supervisors and/or managers I had that actually believed in treating the employees with respect. Many of them are old school and either retired or getting near retirement. If you're a recent college grad from an Ivy League school, want a six figure salary out of the gate with little to no accountability other than showing up, and know how to condescend to and treat like dirt people with far more life experience than you (and far more work experience), then this is the place for you! If you start as an associate, plan on being that for the rest of your time there. There is absolutely no employee development unless for whatever reason. If you become a "favorite" of management for no legit reason (happens all the time), you can then get away with murder. I have seen some of the most productive and conscientious people treated like dirt and/or shown the door while slackers who do below the minimum are elevated and rewarded.
