90% of my work experience has been corporate in-house.
It is not bad. You have a lot of more benefits than agencies, like medical, dental, 401K, stock, all that, plus you always get severance or retention when there is a layoff or something.
Also- don't be nervous... no one gets "fired"... unlike an agency where they can throw you onto the streets if you mess-up, in the corporate world you have to mess-up real bad, and you will get plenty of warnings. Even if you turn out not to be creative or good enough they won't fire you without finding plenty of reasons first.On the other hand if you are pretty good in what you do (my case). You get raises and bonus every year, you don't even have to ask for, because yearly reviews are mandatory, and you're raise is calculated, regardless if the company is doing well or not.
Most important... not a lot of overtime. Usually 8:30 to 5 is common.
Go for it! and good luck.
