Pros

Below average salary, departmental silos, and many little fiefdoms protected by openly hostile incumbents. Decent benefits.

Cons

A clear lack of accountability and responsibility at all levels, starting at the tippy top. Millions in salary have been added in the past few months at the very top with seemingly no purpose. I can't imagine how to justify placing the "Chief of Staff" who just started any place in the company, let alone as a direct report to the CEO with seemingly zero experience in anything remotely related to what we do. How do you start your professional career immediately at a C-Suite level in a giant corporation? Honestly? It's transparent. "Do as I say, not as I do" is a terrible management style.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
