Pros

I am getting paid well

Cons

No real vacation time for 5 years, benefits are expensive, micromanaging from upper management, depends on where you working you may not get a chance to progress further up the ladder, and if you have questions about anything and you need to get a hold of HR it is almost impossible to get a hold of them and then they don't give you any information
