Pros
It's very hard to get fired from this job. Lots of flexibility in terms of scheduling, time off. Opportunities to learn new skills, promotions available for those who work (very) hard.
Cons
People do not tend to stay for longer than a year. As a more senior tech, it can be difficult trying to keep the ship running while constantly trying to train new hires and cover for their mistakes. The low rate of pay, strange hours, and highly repetitive work tend to drive people out. Which creates a self-reinforcing cycle of junior people taking on extra work to cover for the departure of senior employees, not being recognized or compensated for that additional responsibility, then deciding to leave themselves.
