Pros

interesting group of people easy to get to average pay

Cons

if your supervisor does not know what you do, prepare to be questioned about it over and over again. I was bought on to help with a project that my supervisior wanted no part of - and made that clear to me from the first day I started. Manager then preceded to hide themselves in their own work leaving me with no instructions or guidence whatsoever. Ask questions, and they will talk down to you like you are a child. The teams are constanly in competition with each other over sucking up to team leader.
