Pros

Depending on your area, you will have room for growth, but you will eventually bump your head. The good thing is you can move around to different departments to gain more knowledge.

Cons

Lack of formal training. I understand hands on is a good method but without a solid foundation you will always feel you are walking on quicksand.
