Pros

Great compensation, 401k, pension, health, dental,

Cons

Sacrifice over production - meaning the amount of hours you work is just as important as the end result. This leaves you working extra hours because of obligation, not because you have not finished you are behind on things. I work roughly 65 hours a week.
