Pros

If you're a self-starter, you will go very, very far, as that is the primary means of job growth. There are a lot of opportunities to get more responsibility, more projects, and more knowledge. Very tightly-knit community of workers. The benefits are very good.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Like most higher education environments, you must move mountains to get projects implemented, even if they make sense to everyone involved. There's very little top-down leadership, but there are a lot of tasks and projects handed down from the top with the expectation that they'll get done no matter the cost. Work-life balance can suffer because of this.
