Pros

Fermilab is a great place at which to develop and apply technical skills. It is personally and professionally rewarding to work at this eminent institution.

Cons

If you're young or otherwise not necessarily looking to retire here, my advice is to gain your experience and make your mark as fast as reasonably possible. If your position is unchanged after a few years, consider making an exit, failing which you risk stagnating your career.
