Pros

I have many colleagues here that I also consider close friends. Many career growth opportunities.

Cons

While I absolutely love that I have many friends throughout various departments, from my time with Herc, at times it can draw focus to the disconnect between the different company segments. I have tried to bring this to the attention of higher ups and while many are willing to adjust some don’t seem to be bothered by someone without manager in front of their title.
