Pros
You can usually take time off when needed to deal with family issues, so long as it isn't too extensive. Sometimes the company will force you to take vacation when they want you to, or forced unpaid furloughs, so often you have LOTS of time to spend with your family.
Cons
Raises are virtually non-existent, not even cost-of-living for inflation. If under pressure to keep a quality employee, the miniscule raise pool will sometimes go toward one person on the team while most others get 0 to 2%. In a bad year, mostly everyone gets 0%. Training/education is usually never approved, travel is never approved, and upper management is completely inept.
