Pros

Family atmosphere. Nice people.

Cons

Agency has rode the coat tails of an single account for 20 years and that has lead to lack of innovation or new ideas on how to win new business. Will be in financial trouble if and when it loses that big account. Management is very old school and leaders in there are just going through the paces. Staff doesn't really get mentoring, just assigned work.

Pros

You get to work alongside many traditional agency vets, who can tell you war stories from McCann, BBDO, all of the big shops. Small company (~25 people total), chances are you will be wearing many hats (taking on many responsibilities) and will have to try really hard or seriously antagonize some of the senior management to be let go. Also, the family-like work culture is very welcoming and they are understanding of periodical appointments/reasons to be late. Time off is relatively easy to get vs. other companies.

Cons

90% of your workload is traditional media -- print, out of home, television, etc. You'll definitely be on your own when it comes to accumulating digital/online experience, save for relatively infrequent online campaigns involving relatively simple RMU flash animation. Being a small agency, and a multicultural one at that, budgets/expense reports/etc will be that much more closely scrutinized. Also, the overwhelmingly family-friendly/lowest-common-denominator culture of the main clients definitely trickles down to the agency -- if you're looking for "work hard, play hard", this is not it.
