Pros

Absolutely nothing except if you like to sit around and do nothing.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, not a lot of room for professional growth unless you know the right people. Very poor management and senior leadership, overall, is not open and communicative with staff. The salary is also terrible with not a lot of room for negotiations.
