Pros

The organization is moving in a positive direction, I hate that it took so long.

Cons

Pay is not equivalent to performance expectations or exceeding standards. You're not really recognized for your efforts aside from a pat on the back and "Good Job". Job tasks change frequently or more gets added on and you get confused with who is responsible for what.
