Pros

Once hired, it can be difficult to get fired for cause.

Cons

While the C-suite enjoys an ever increasing suite of luxurious perks, they are consistently reducing benefits, withholding raises and cutting back for the regular employees who actually make the company run. It's a familiar story. Given the abysmal pay and horrible working conditions for educated professionals (no offices or cubicles, just giant desks shared with a dozen co-workers), it's not for talented go-getters who want to get ahead. This just isn't the place for talent. HOWEVER, if you want to coast, do a mediocre job and get by - then I think this could be a good fit.
