Pros

Direct management has been good. Compensation is good if you grow at an alarming rate at high profit margins. You can generate your own team dynamic. Freedom of managing operations

Cons

Corporate..., Upper management is poor, Too many hours for the stress and compensation, Promotion of dishonest employees is common, Company culture is poor to non-existing (maybe it was good under the founder), Lean team environment can be too lean, Very poor management of internal relations

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
