Pros

Great employer. They care about their staff and treat them fairly. It's a great place to learn and develop skills. They are very supportive of training and skill building.

Cons

Advancement can be difficult. Once again it's a great place to work, so folks stick around. There are however opportunities to move laterally and then vertically.
