Pros

Excellent benefits (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K match, parental leave). Flexible work schedule (+/- one hour at start or end of day). Our group works 9-hour days and get every other Friday off. Work in Security and IT is very well documented, so everyone does the job the same way; which is HUGE plus for someone new starting here.

Cons

Only given 2-weeks vacation at start and 1-day per month earned after, with no sick days (you have to use vacation days when you're sick), a lot of other companies give 3-weeks vacation per year and 5-days sick days on top of that. There is a lot of turnover in the Security and IT groups due to high work load and stress; but if you are used to working a fast paced high output job - it won't be an issue for you.
