Pros

Oppurtunity for growth and advancement is great if you are willing to work and take on new skills. Great coworkers and people to work with. Job is always changing and different. Always something new.

Cons

24/7 opperation, May be bad for some people. News Never stops. So if you want a face paced and demanding job it is for you. Hours can be long sometimes and hard to find people willing to put in the work.
