Pros

Good for an entry level position to gain knowledge of lean, payroll, reporting, certain benefit plans.

Cons

Career growth in bldg. 5/global ops can be limited. It is sometimes hard to transition to the GE businesses as well. Depending on team (in my experience), pay is also too low compared to market for the work once you have experience (pay was inconsistent, positions with very different work in similar titles as well)
