Pros

Travel opportunities, training and development opportunities. Good health benefits Good resume builder

Cons

Big company syndrome, little opportunities to grow in career. Management tends to be aloof, thinking only of themselves and forgetting the company is driven by the lower ranking employee's talents Lots of attrition, losing very talented and good people because of previous ill handled situations

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
