Pros

Fairly relaxed work environment when compared with similar activities in other companies. Above average benefits. Still maintain a (vanishing) level of identity.

Cons

Internal policies often restrain the possibility of progression. Incentives to above average performers should be increased.

Pros

It's a fun job with lots of perks, there is generally a good ambiance, the people are pretty laid back. Talking to player can be fun and investigating cases quite interesting for the most complicated ones.

Cons

The lack of opportunities. You can move through tiers but you'll still be a CS. Since the atmosphere is so relax, there is quite a bit of 'being friends with a Manager will help you further along', which can be annoying as without your Manager's approval you can't move forward. All in all that's the reason I left, I wanted to see what I could do around CS, and that's what I did, so even though leaving Blizzard was a difficult decision as they're a great company to work for, it was also the right one in my case.
