Pros

World known brand.
World wide job opportunities.

Cons

We are very hard on all levels of employees starting at Senior Leadership. Sometimes the expectations are completely unattainable and Senior Management can't even sell in what they are expecting.
Changes in benefits such as removing company cars will back fire. Our employees that drive thousands and thousands of miles a year are not going to pay for a car just to run it into the ground. Needless to say the new policy that provides a insulting $230+ payment is not going to cut it.
