Pros

Looks good on the resume, the economy sucks - that's about it.

Cons

The pay is laughable compared to similar jobs in the industry. When promotions are given you're expected to work long hours without much appreciation for it. If you are looking to advance your career this is not the field to be doing it. Absolute arm pit of the industry.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
