Pros

Money, money, money. The pay is great and bonuses can be insane. No two days are alike. The days fly by because there are always dozens of fires to put out.

Cons

There are always dozens of fires to put out. No real root cause analysis. Solutions are band aids on top of band aids on top of band aids.
