Pros

secure job, once hired as full time it is very difficult to get fired; takes an illegal act - not the whim of a manager.

Cons

too much micro-management, very stressful - expectations are that you are available by email 24x7 - including all weekends & holidays. very antiquatated, regressive culture. Most staff have 25 to 35 years of seniority and they weild that over you. The mindset is very much "union" at all levels and they will not waver or vary from "treating everyone the same" - yet FAVORITISM IS RAMPANT!
