Pros

Provides opportunity to interact with people around the world and understand business in areas not just within local area. Allows individual growth but doesn't praise accomplishments enough.

Cons

"Sink or swim" training. Compensation is below average for area and position. Underestimates the value of investing in knowledgeable staff. Workload increases significantly over time however raises are near non-existent with most going 5 years or more without raise or cost of living increase.
