Pros

It is possible to work your way up and with offices all over the country you can transfer when you move if there is an office in the area

Cons

Overhead employees are treated bad. Cost of living raises under 2% (if you gat one at all), no raises based on performance, and underpaid, An overhead employee of 10 years makes less then a new hire in the same position or lateral position.

Pros

They accepted me back after I returned from a deployment. Plenty of work location choices

Cons

The recruiter only wanted his idea of "combat arms" experience for CPO positions. Even after explaining my military job specialty to him, he still thought me inexperienced enough to carry a handgun. The corporate guys are not very pleasant to talk to. Dead-end job. Terrible pay.
