Pros

You need to be in a constant training mode, not just from the company but, also with your clients needs and the media. This way you can keep up with the demand of your customers.

Cons

If you're not ready to make your own decisions, this is not the job for you.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
