The only pros I can think of are the benefits and pension..
Cons
They didn't train me AT ALL the first 4 months. I sat in my cubicle listening to music and doing crosswords... may sound great for some people but I come to work to do work... Management only cared about themselves and complained about the workload and would not train me and the 4 others who started the same time as me.
