Pros

The work is ok. You meet interesting people.

Cons

The company makes promises like no forced extra work days, 3 days off in a row.. etc.. They change thier mind as soon as it becomes inconvenient to keep thier word. Management lies to thier employees. They basically act as though they own you. The only thing ever really discussed at weekly meetings is sales. Technicians are now required to be technicians, salesmen, recruiters, and much more. If you want to have no personal life,this is the job for you.
