Pros

Multiple work schedule options. The people are nice. Some flexibility to work from home, which is nice.

Cons

Monotonous. Repetitive. Upper management is super old school. Very limited room for growth. Office is pretty drab and boring, everything is gray. You will inevitably work some holidays (holiday pay, of course). Given the local cost of living, pay is on the low side.
