Pros

Any person looking to grow technology-wise will be exposed to a lots of different technologies.

Cons

Hard to articulate the cons as it is long, but I would not recommend to my worst enemy. Management decision making process follow their gut feeling more than facts or what the people doing the work has to say. The breadth in technology is overshadowed by this same decision making process which has kept the company from moving forward and stay up-to-date. If you want professional growth, be willing to pay out of the pocket or push your management to get it funded; they are afraid to invest in your career as you might leave at some point. For years, the IT dept has had a HUGE turnover...be mindful of that before deciding to join as that is for a reason. Hard work takes a lot to be rewarded but being the manager's pet pays-off faster. Let's not forget, work-life balance does not exist here.
