Pros

Great commute. If your boss lets you, remote work may be possible.

Cons

Benefits are very weak and eroding yearly, as compared to other employers. The 401K is more expensive than most and it takes 5 years to vest. Two weeks of vacation is maximum unless you negotiate something under the table. Bullying took place in several forms, and HR was ineffective in correcting it.
