Pros
Of course, the advantages are the golden cage: * Lots of perks and benefits * Being on the French Riviera (for those who like it) * Being paid even if you are not really doing much... * Looks good on your CV, especially if you are in the travel industry * Good to start your career or if you are close to retirement
Cons
* No real room for growth, unless you are a ruthless strategic person who prefers to kiss ass and socialize in order to move forward, so there are so many people in powerful positions that are rubbish at their job but they are friends with other powerful people who help them. * No possibility to implement any good ideas, everything comes from top management down. * You will be surrounded by either talented people being frustrated most of the time because they are not getting challenged, or they are getting exploited with no recognition, while others are just sitting around not doing anything and getting paid the same. * If you are in the middle of your professional life and really strive for learning, growing, getting the challenges and recognition for what you are doing, please don't fall in the trap of the great location and benefits package...seriously! It's a trap! * Salaries are crap despite what they want to make you believe.
