Pros

Good marketing programs if your at an account that is big enough to run them. Decent unit support if your unit is on the radar

Cons

not much flexibility to purchase whats best for the unit... always about what is best for the corporate incentives that the unit never sees. Huge amounts of corporate paperwork pulls unit managers away from customer service
