Pros
Great benefits - company pays health insurance premiums for you and your family Great ESOP program - 25% of your yearly income is invested for you at no cost to you Good people - management, coworkers, and (most) customers are all professional and friendly See the world - If you like traveling for work you will get many opportunities to do so. How much you make is in your hands here. You can retire as early as 45 if you go hard and save well or retire comfortably at 55.
Cons
Long Hours - average hours worked a week are around 55 ranging from 50 to 100 if you are traveling. Hard on marriages - you will be away from home for weeks at a time and spend many late nights in the office. Golden handcuffs - hourly wage is low but made up through long hours and profit sharing bonuses at end of fiscal year. work/life balance is poor due to long hours and unpredictable business trips
