Pros

Simple job with minimal calls. Easy to understand not many responsibilities. You can coast through the job without thinking very much about what you are doing. You get paid out in stock and good 401k benefits. You have tuition reimbursement if it aligns with the company's needs.

Cons

Monotonous. Little to no growth opportunity. Little communication with expectations. You're computer screen is monitored 100 percent of the time and you are micro managed for the majority of your career. You are expected to be a robot. Things take very long to get done when you need them to be. Tuition reimbursement is minimal and hard to receive.
