Pros

- In Operations at least, work-life balance is reasonable - Benefits are great, including in-office perks - Great to have the brand on resume

Cons

- A high school student could do the job; no skills are required and no skills are learned - Career path and salary increases are very rigid, not a meritocratic culture - Very limited mobility opportunities, except within same subdivision (which means doing relatively the same job) - Bonuses are almost non-existent outside of the front-office, and salary is low - Hierarchical culture; your opinion is valued depending on your level
