Pros

Best job on the ship. If you like working away and saving your money, this may be the right fit. Though it doesn't pay excellently, its not terrible and the pension is great ... If you can last that long

Cons

Going to sea for your entire career is tough. It's tough to get fired too, which can be good and bad.
