Pros

Large enough company that an employee that is lazy or inept can keep their job (pro for that employee). Management can make a low 6 figure income, pretty easily.

Cons

Return for shareholders is more important than taking care of the customer and employee. Yes, a public corporation is created for shareholder value (by law)… but the only thing management truly cares about is moving the stock price to affect their options. Corporate attitude- CYA, who you know is more important than production, etc.

None that I can think of

A lot of politics in day to day. People working to look busy instead of improving the business.
