Pros
Make no mistake, SF has been a great employer ... there are some critical shortfalls within the organization though that has been leading to its downfall. I contend those issues are with the most senior leadership.
Cons
Nepotism ... how does a 34 year old who never distinguished himself within industry or academia become CEO of what was then the Fortune 12 company in the US. (Fortune 33 now?) Ed Rust Jr. and other key leadership have been riding this company into the ground. They have been asleep at the wheel. They allowed the agency force to shrink harmfully and impactfully. They have allowed that same agency force to age such that it could now cause catastrophic failure for the organization. They completely missed the internet boat, such that the organization has allowed competitors to take control of the battlefield. They jumped into banking such that they now have more diluted the product offerings and focus ... and lose considerable millions annually. They have demonstrated that they are inept at virtually every important aspect of leading a Fortune 50 company ... with the exception of being born into the right family or other forms of the "college chums network".
