Pros

Depending on the department you can have a flexible schedule. They also have good benefits (Health, Retirement, Etc.). The work you do can be interesting as long as you can get it approved by senior management.

Cons

So many meetings its impossible to get any real work done. Also, there seems to be a disconnect between senior management and the rest of the company, however to get any major projects approved they must go through senior management which involves a ton of red tape and justification. This whole process takes people away from the innovative work they should be doing.

Pros

Associates have high integrity and are committed to doing the right thing for the customer. Ability to work cross-functionally on solving problems. Lots of associates who are highly knowledgeable about the industry.

Cons

Excessive focus on prioritizing things on lists so that leadership feels they are being addressed, only to be told that there are no resources and the work never gets done. Leadership ability at the director level varies widely. Senior management can sometimes micromanage which is demoralizing if you are a competent professional prepared to come to the table with recommendations and actions. Can be too hierarchical and patriarchical - not a lot of innovation and very conservative.
