Pros

Elsevier likes to try to keep up with advances in publishing technology. I much appreciate, as an editor, that although the company is huge I can get tech help via chat.

Cons

Because Elsevier is so big, it can be very impersonal, and there can be holes and/or overlap between the many roles that employees fill. The future of big for-profit academic publishers is a bit in question right now, too, for a number of reasons.
