Pros

It's a face paced environment. There are others with whom to commiserate. Allies can be easily found. If you're in food service, the food actually tastes pretty good! Overall, the company is great and successful and you just have to have thick skin to work there.

Cons

Take note that if you are working with someone closely that is in high level management, or that is ranked above you, that is a jerk, it's going to be harder to get rid of them or have them change for the better than it is to leave. Especially when they are considered to be a part of two "protected" classes.
