Pros

When working for Sony I was granted extra training at the local HQ. This training has helped me in all aspects of my life. Sony really knows they're stuff when it comes to sales and dealing with people, and if you're open to it and work hard you will be lifted up and giving more training, again training that will help your day to day interactions with people.

Cons

The biggest downfall is rotating shift work, and quotas. Though it isn't that hard to hit them if you're focus and applying your training, but it is still a cloud above your head come the end of the month. Also like any job, the job is really made or broken by the people you work with. So if you can a good lot at your location, you can expect to do well, but if not expect quite the opposite.

Pros

I am not aware of the working of conditions at many companies, but I think that SONY is not bad as far as chances for learning are concerned.

Cons

lack of overall co-operation among different companies of SONY, though it does not effect your working.
