Pros

Money, benefits, job security & telling everyone what to do. Break times are 45 minutes every 45 minutes to an hour and you still get paid for 8 hours.

Cons

You will not be able to have weekends off for nearly 20 years. Not working most of the time you are at "work" can cause high levels of anxiety.
