Pros

Interesting network of people and locations which touches a wide variety of industry segments and trade sectors. A few people are very passionate.

Cons

Not high caliber staff. Motivation is frequently low. Locations and facilities are often in a deplorable state of disrepair. There is now career path or management. Geneva headquarters is bizarre.

Pros

They pay well for corporate positions.

Cons

The most unorganized organization I have ever seen. They do not give salary increases when promised. You have to beg to get one. Local managers have their own agenda and do not want help from within the organization.
