Pros

Their track record proves whatever the cons are, these guys are good at what they do. Good pay, free food and snacks all day.

Cons

It may not technically be a cult, but the cult of personality surrounding Ray is pervasive in everything. Daily "devotions" to studying the principles are tracked and penalized if you don't keep up. This culture works for some people, and they are forthright in how it is, so if you have any doubts whatsoever, be cautious about joining.
