Pros

hours, salary, food, office and that is about it.

Cons

micro management, excessive meetings, no 401K match, all promotions are made amongst friends internally, no room for growth unless you are with the in-crowd, pressure to constantly follow up with prospects with high potential of losing the business (and when you do, the manager blames you even though you were doing as you were told).
