Pros

-Decent insight on the monotony of daily work life at a global corporation. -Name Brand Recognition -You have to earn that job experience somewhere -Almost always hiring thanks to turnover rate (great for new comers, however indicative of current morale)

Cons

-No upward mobility -Lack of skill training for job role -Limited skill training for job function -No varied skill training that is transitive to other jobs (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, Outbound) -Outdated tech, software, and other tools makes what would be a simple job, much harder. -Lack of incentive to perform well -Limited benefits, expensive insurance, limited tuition reimbursement -Low pay vs. competitors --Beware of becoming too complacent. The same job role of an entry level specialist, is equal (in function, not work load) of a senior level specialist. For those who enjoy consistency look no further. For those seeking role change, or different challenges, do not expect much else.

Pros

Clearly defined career ladder Exposure to a wide range of clients and projects.

Cons

Inconsistent team culture. Some teams feel clique-oriented, so it's difficult for new employees to integrate. Training can be limited, with a strong expectation to learn independently.
