Pros

They used to have great benefits a decade ago, but companies nowadays have comparable if not better benefits. Very easy paycheck, and no stress outside of work.

Cons

My immediate manager is awful here. You don't get rewarded for good work and hence institutionalizing everyone. This is an organizational issue that stems from the top of the chain. If you have a group of overachievers, the managers cannot give each individual high reviews because HR wants everyone to be just mediocre. The execs hire and promote their own friends and people that will do whatever they want to hear, and have absolutely no strategy.
