Pros

It is a job in a recession and it pays the bills, if you are new to the IT business and prepared to work for buttons you can make use of the internal CBT training in your own time

Cons

No pension, no pay rises unless you are "In with Management" very bias to bringing in friends from previous jobs low bids to gain contracts then release the staff who were making the services work, illiterate incompetents as Managers and accountants will always have the last say.
