Pros

Great pay, great benefits, if you want more responsibility & can handle it, you will be given it, and rewarded for it. A growing company, new product lines & opportunities are always coming online.

Cons

Some customers can be unreasonable, some insurance companies can be unreasonable. You have to fight on anyway. You often are responsible for events beyond your control.

Pros

Good compensation and lots of opportunities for advancement for employees that prove themselves, and are willing to expand their roles. Willingness to relocate is very valuable in this company, as key positions are always coming available at different locations across North America. Compensation for management tied to the performance of the branch is excellent, as key employees have a personal interest in seeing the location & company succeed.

Cons

As with most large corporations, there can be challenges getting some simple things done. Waiting for approvals, ensuring that proper regulatory procedures (SOX, ISO, Ect) are followed can delay and complicate otherwise simple tasks. Project management is also surprisingly poor for facility expansions and moves, which is unexpected since this company has grown through acquisition and integration. There seem to be just too many people involved, with muddled communication. With so many projects on the go for the ops team, no one gets the proper attention it should probably deserve.
