Cons

-Poor work life balance, especially if you are in field ( though you might make good money) -Smart people eventually walk away , you are left with stupid people who form senior management -Some field locations are tough , as they are located in remote parts of world -Office jobs are also very demanding, in most of the segment, people are on call all the time. - Salary increase and promotions slow down after first 3-4 years. - Smart people leave the company soon as most of the jobs require physical hard work. - Field jobs are almost blue collar jobs with good money - No mental growth, after few years you will realize that you are getting dumb! :P
