Pros

Y get the rare opportunity to work with a host of really great folks who care about the mission of the organization and the work-place community beyond their jobs.

Cons

Change management has been pretty constant for the past several years. If you can handle constant change which often prevents clarity of direction and deliverables, then you'll do fine.
