Pros

You get poured into heavily in your leadership and spirituality, the LC culture, and the care for you and your family when it comes to time off, specifically at the campus level. The benefits package is pretty good as well as the insurance. Insurance is much cheaper (at higher level tier employee) than anywhere I've seen.

Cons

Hours are very demanding and the development can also be a con for some because of our type of culture. If you're not ready to grow, this won't be a place that you'll be at long. Also, I came in the organization as a lower-tiered than I am now so my financial compensation when advancing (in my opinion) has always been based on the very small amount of money I started at. Now having children, the financial compensation could be better and salaries aren't reviewed here on any basis that I'm aware of. Any financial raise you get is based on your goal setting and achievements (which I love) but that's it. Again, this isn't a place to be blessed as much financially than in ALL the other areas of your life. They've also gone away from the role I started in and the roles they replaced have better compensation. (good for future/bad for existing) Also what I've seen in our culture, this is also a place that when books are written about you and your leadership, it's very hard to change it, which can be bad when trying to advance. Tier 2 benefits are terrible for families and can break the bank (for my wife and I at the time we came on was paying almost $500 month for insurance alone. Which means we couldn't invest due to making less than 30k/yr).

Pros

I love serving at my church through the role of pastor. Caring for people who take time out of their busy day to serve God through LC is a privilege. Life.Church has great benefits (401K Match & insurance) too.

Cons

Culture varies wildly from campus to campus so you could have very different experiences depending where you land. The job is much more task driven than you would expect or were told. You are often asked to do things that are outside of your job description. If you think of it more as you are here to fully serve the church in any capacity they ask and you'll do great.
