Pro - plenty of work. Con - it’s mundane work.
It doesn’t seem to be the best for upward trajectory.
You don’t see many people going from Head of PMO -> C-Suite.
That being said, large companies always have the need. And as boring as it is, the predictability/reliability may give you enough bandwidth to start a side hustle or go out and live your life??
Unfortunately it’s not that simple and tends to vary by company/industry.
For example in Med Devices/Pharma, Sales & Marketing tend to run the show.
In Tech, same can be said for Product & Engineering.
In capital intensive industries like Energy, there’s more emphasis on Finance & Operations.
Advise you to look at the C-Suite of your target companies and see if their backgrounds have any common denominators.
