Pros

Benefits, some of the people, looks good on a resume Good view from the corporate office of the Arch You can learn all about the way to spin the good a coal company brings to the earth

Cons

Highly Political You are either in or out, and either way you still could get a knife in your back Arbitrary decision making process regarding people, performance not part of the equation Good Ole Boy attitude HR is a bunch of sharks and will eat their own to survive Pass the buck and blame, steal the credit for a job well done
