Pros

If you don't like one area of the company, there are plenty of other opportunities. They are good about work/life balance.

Cons

Insurance is expensive, but you will get that in most big companies. It takes too long to deal with problems with other associates. They tend to give second, third, fourth chances instead of dealing with the situation directly.
