Pros

Industry leader with products and technologies. Large network of very experienced and talented contributors. Majority of employees are very proud of the work they do at the hourly and salary level. Internal candidates always get priority for job postings. Good benefits package (401k, Employee Stock Purchase, Vacation, Personal Time, Health Insurance, Free Eyeglasses yearly) Powerful influence in the industry. Experience gained is very respected and useful in other work opportunities.

Cons

Branch locations are neglected and squeezed for maximum profit. Communication from upper management and between divisions is nearly non existent. Many mangers are very poorly prepared to effectively manage others. Focus on share price and the bottom line supersedes all other concerns (even ethics). 'Mom & Pop' locations purchased and turned into branches of corporate giant. Global focus threatens the amount of US-based jobs. Executive favoritism for French and Male colleagues.
