Pros

Average benefits. Lots of training available.

Cons

Will tell you anything to hire you including misleading job description and then gaslighting you into the status quo. Low non competitive pay. Still doing timesheets for 'Salaried' jobs. Senior and mid level management turnover is nearly every six months with constant changing priorities. Technology is not state of the art as describe.
