Pros

Great people to work with. High paced environment with new challenges every day.

Cons

Poor communication between management/leadership and staff. Poor work environment where management criticizes rather than provide constructive feedback, and work with you to find a solution and for you to improve skills. Leadership is not approachable and you feel they do not have your back.
