Pros

Large company that provides a lot of employee benefits. Access to a lot of resources for employee health and needs.

Cons

Local corporation can get hung up in 'good ol' boy' politics where it's all about who you know and who's butt you kiss.

Pros

Excellent development possibilities globally and across businesses laterally. Good quality, professional staff. Many opportunities for education and personal development.

Cons

Large bureaucracy demotivating to innovative and entrepreneurial minded employees. In the past years, the opportunity for career growth upwards has been limited and will continue to decline as the company has not achieved its growth strategy and targets.

Pros

Competitive pay, good benefits, nice bonuses, a lot of talented employees. If you work for one of the larger sites, there is room to advance and a good work life balance

Cons

Very difficult to get anything done. The bureaucracy is ridiculous. The IT department is awful. If you work for a smaller site, or a recent acquisition, there are not enough resources and a lot of unrealistic expectations
