Pros

Sabbaticals every 6 years of employment. Good annual bonuses if your supervisor is proactively supporting you.

Cons

To obtain promotions, there are many politics and hurdles to jump over. Employees are not honest with management and are intimidated to bring up relevant issues and concerns. Management tends to withhold information when asked direct questions from employees.
