Pros

Reasonable hours, variety of positions, flexibility in approach to business problems Culture and work-life balance is average/reasonable. Rarely have to work after-hours. Stable industry and company.

Cons

Lack of resources at times to handle what is asked of you (personnel, time) Career mobility is political Work can stagnate - if you are excellent at one thing it is unlikely that you can switch roles easily.
