Pros

If you ask for challenges they will look for ways to give it to you. Although you may not get all of the mentoring you want. Thus it is a great place learn. Great network of people. They have a good internal on demand training website. They do a good job of moving people around the departments in a effort to develop well rounded employees as they move up the corporate ladder in preparation for senior management. It is a large company where you can transfer to other offices, although it is not easy. Overall people are very professional and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Corporate HR pushes work/life balance via emails and news letters, but it is not enforced. Since typically it is face time that determines good performance reviews and salary/promotion increases, the culture discourages working a 40 hour week. The inside joke is that your work and life can still balance at %90 and %10 respectively. Salaries are not competitive. They tend to be cheap about fringe items like Turner labeled promotional items.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
