Pros

It provides a job allowing people to stay in wonderful San Diego and helps grow your technical abilities.

Cons

Does not provide any real career growth opportunities. Total lack of diverse culture. Review process is very unfair and filled with politics. Hard to get promoted unless you have connections and or smooched up to directors from the review board.
