Pros

Has a good portfolio of different brands.

Cons

Undergoing a massive reorganization which has resulted with the brands no longer having any autonomy. People have been reassigned to functions they're either not qualified for or really don't want. In time, they'll probably see a mass exodus of key people as they find other jobs that provide more reward and satisfaction.

Pros

Friendly co-workers. Working hours were usually 8 hrs a day. I was kept very busy so the days just flew by.

Cons

Drive to and from work every day was longer than I care to have. Job responsibilities changed and I ended up doing more duties in an area which I was not hired to do. Not that I mind helping out but some days it became my "main" job while my real main job was left undone.
