Pros

Offers some autonomy with the opportunity to work directly with good leaders. Opportunity for growth if you seek it out, you must take the initiative and work hard.

Cons

Sometimes it can feel a little like management is micromanaging employees who are not doing well. Long hours are necessary more often than not to succeed.
