Pros

It's a famous brand, pretty good benefits, and there is a lot of exciting stuff happening at the company especially in digital/online.

Cons

Ambitious high performers leave after 2 years for a promotion somewhere else. The digital business has a re-organization every 12 months which creates its own problems. Managers are promoted based on years of service rather than people skills, which maintains the status quo.
