Pros

Great money, especially when you get some overtime.

Cons

Small-minded people with unethical moves in the management. A lot of small chit-chats everywhere in the office. If you like daily drama, then you would love it. Downtime you absolutely do nothing but sit on the chair. A very small amount of movement time out of your desk. Eat your food at your desk while working. Management has their favorites so you better be a sucker cupper.
