Pros

High-end pay. Good benefits. Company's attention to a safe work environment.

Cons

If you are really good in your position and have a selfish manager, you will be locked into that position. Happened to me. Locked into a position for 17 years, field, with no chance of advancement using normal channels. Flat-out told by manager to stop applying for other positions since they would never approve transfer/application. Walked into my new positions managers office and introduced myself, knew the manager from the field, was able to get promoted from field to office using roundabout route. Only bridge burned using this route was old manager, who no longer is with the company, different story.
