Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly coworkers and (mainly) management.

Cons

Very cliquey; feels a lot like school. High attrition of young talent (by design) and slow replacement burdens everyone else. Poor pay for intense workloads of repetitive tasks - burnout likely. You will only be promoted if you are a close friend of leadership.
