Pros

Great benefits, nice and smart people, culture is generally good. The company is stable and conservatively managed, and always seems to turn a profit. Despite the pay not being very competitive, when combined with the benefits and stability, the overall package is attractive.

Cons

You must be very sparing with the word "no" to be successful here. Saying "yes" is rewarded and has resulted in a culture where no one wants to raise the flag when there are issues. Its best for your career if you aren't the one person making noise about something as you will be alone. Managers hate when people pursue different roles - this will hurt your career. The best career path is to leave and then later come back.
