Pros

Constant learning in the environment - which then translates into high work load, friendly staff and plenty of room for growth.

Cons

Salary doesn't match cumulative number of years of work experience from other fields which may not necessarily be for the role recruited for but however beneficial to the position and organization. In simple terms - underpaid.
