Pros

You can be assured that your colleagues will be competent, at least in most business units. Many opportunities for career development once you have proven your skills and commitment to your job.

Cons

Business and IT services can take way too long. Sometimes the organizational structure of management is too complex and doesn't allow entry-level workers many chances to take the lead on projects, teams, etc.

Pros

Good health benefits and retirements products as an employee. Cool people.

Cons

As a customer representative you get all the calls, all the complaints and most of the time the blame when something goes wrong. If you are stuck on the late shift ( 4 to 8 PM) good luck finding help when you need to escalate.
