Pros
You can make of this job what you put into it. Plenty of opportunities to be successful and collaborate with outstanding scientists. Success is self-directed.
Cons
Bureaucracy and hurdles! The harder you work, the more obstacles you need to overcome. Excessive mandatory training and oversight. Most managers are scientists that could not do science - the only way to get promoted was through management. Tight budgets requiring scientists to butter up the money decision maker to secure funds.
