Pros

It is a big company with many chances to move up the ranks if you are willing to be flexible on location and pay.

Cons

There are some very crooked account managers and corporate doesn't seem to do much in helping to straighten them out. This results in some questionable business ethics across the board.

Pros

Easy job when working with compatent co-workers

Cons

They hired EVERYONE, especially when they're young. So co-workers can be immature and EXTREMELY lazy. You pay for other people stupidity so the rules change quite frequently. Its a dirty job.
