Pros

If you're salary, the benefits package (health, dental, retirement, etc.) Is good and the work-life balance is better than if you're hourly.

Cons

The work load and environment will vary so radically based on where you are. For example, in E81 engineering it's very much 40hrs/week and when you clock out, you clock out. But, if you work in E85 or other 'production end' engineering, overtime because basically forced on you. Pay is definitely less than competitive in many areas, even if you're working overtime as most salary positions get something called 'premium time' which is basically 75% of your normal wage instead of traditional time and a half when over 80hrs in a biweekly period.
