Pros

Work-Life Balance is amazing and the job is extremely flexible about when you work, as long as you work your 40 hours.

Cons

If you want a pay raise that matches the industry standard, one must leave the company, or switch departments to earn a promotion or a raise that is greater than 3% a year. If one is promoted within a department they might expect to only receive a 6% raise, whereas leaving the company or switching departments they should expect a 15-20% raise.
