Pros

Great work environment - Fantastic coworkers (IMO). Coworkers are exceptionally helpful, with decades of knowledge to tap into. IT is pretty top-notch when you have a problem. Insurance and retirement package are better than industry low-level standards (7% match on 401k).

Cons

Hiring surges followed by layoffs.

Lack of promotions for contract-to-direct hires.

Better to be on the manager's list of buddies (you'll definitely know if you're not).

Nepotism leads to passing over a lot of dedicated and talented people.

Upper-level management's complete disconnect from everyday workers.
