Pros

The salary is average, at best. Group insurance is an attractive option.

Cons

There are two types of employees, the privileged ones and the rest. If you manage to get protection from one of the partners, you'll be in the first category. For "the chosen ones", it means better pay and better general conditions of employment. As for the rest... you get the idea. Total lack of opportunity for advancement. There's a HUGE gap between the position offered and the "real" job.
