Pros

good salary and benefits, no taxes.

Cons

extremely hard to move up, especially in a era where restructuring is common. constant insecurity of career and no incentive. you are rewarded with more work instead. interviewing for other positions is almost a shot in the dark since most of the time there is a candidate already chosen and you might just be going through a formality for the sake of 'competition' contracts are 1 year or less even for full time appointments.
