Pros

You get to interact with a vast network of people (externally as well as internally). The team members themselves are nice but the management is utter rubbish. You will definitely learn discipline and will learn a lot about yourself as a person.

Cons

Where to start? For what is expected of you and the responsibility you have the pay is too low. Furthermore, managment are a real problem - which is reflected in the staff turnover (ususally 1 person leaves per month). The hierarchy and attidude of management is a real issue. There is no career progress.

Pros

Intelligent engaged people, Modern offices, Decent pay, and good retirement benefits.

Cons

Growing pains of a European company modifying its business to grow its American footprint. Senior leadership was mostly European. Felt disconnected from American grocery culture.
