Pros
Generally good people, decent benefits, organizational growth underway in US which opens the possibility of positive change. Financially strong parent provides a degree of security during bad times.
Cons
Parent company is very bureaucratic, slow to react, lacks sense of urgency, misunderstands US market. Pinches pennies in all the wrong places - e.g. Technology platform is antiquated (quite literally, obsolete - IE 7, Microsoft Office 2003, major latency issues....make day to day activities daunting) and the organization is seemingly unwilling to fix it. Notable gender bias, although that is unfortunately not unusual for the industry. Mentally exhausting place to work.
