Pros

Good work life balance. Lots of schedule flexibility. Employee loyalty and competitive salaries and benefits. Big focus on safety. Very diverse work force

Cons

Always putting out "small fires" and doing "band-aid fixes". No reliable and effective Preventative Maintenance (PM) program (at least at my location). A lot of wasteful spending on contract work. Typical construction atmosphere (lots of profanity and unprofessional behavior)
