Pros
The people are kind; the work can be rigorous; the office space is nice/modern. I would say that sums up the positives upon first glance. A Deeper Look: The work environment equips new career professionals with the tools and pedigree needed to help realize their long term career aspirations. It is a Fortune 500 company; it got there using tried and true business standards/techniques. As a new professional, familiarizing myself with those standards made my future endeavors much easier to calculate--to imagine. They allow individuals who are creative, aspirational and entrepreneurial to take on stretch projects and try new things. The catch, however, is that you must seize those opportunities when you see them.
Cons
Career mobility is sometimes constrained within certain departments. This forces individuals to look to other departments for new opportunities to advance their careers. This can be disheartening to some. In a company so large, it takes real effort, a record of strong work performance, and maybe sometimes just knowing the right person to get ahead. Otherwise, one can really fall into a rut-- easily finding themselves working in the same position for 6-10+ yrs. Another negative (and this could just be my personal perception of things) is the limited amount of salaried positions within the company. Many jobs are part-time, thus leaving individuals with families and responsibilities of their own to work egregious amounts of overtime. This might not be as much of a concern for the new career professional though.
