Pros

Good insurance, benefits, work / life balance for everyone. If you are really good friends or sleeping with a member of upper management then you can expect a very cushy job.

Cons

Not a meritocracy. Expect a steady job with really nice benefits, below average pay, and little chance of promotion.
