Pros

Great people in my department that were very supportive Posh, enormous corporate headquarters great training programs in my area Good senior management and ethical tone at the top

Cons

subpar benefits, especially health insurance mediocre pay lack of mobility / career growth for most headquarter staff because so many people stay 20 plus years pay for performance was talked about but it was very obvious that promotions were time based
