Pros

Great company for working mothers! Many of the managers are truly interested in developing you. If you are on the career path when you are recruited, it's easy to get to a manager level.

Cons

HR is very poor and do not like to get involved (other than listening). Very poor upward mobility past first level management (in Sales). Relocation is a requirement, which if you have a family, can be difficult.
