Competitive pay and bonus opportunities, most groups have good day to day flexibility, nice perks (i.e., company car at certain levels, $1,500 annual HSA contribution, 4% company match on 401K, 12 weeks of maternity and paternity leave).

Cons

Way too many layers of management, hundreds of executives who do not add value, cannot make decisions, and do not generate company profits, small (but consistent) annual merit increases, GM often prioritizes gender and skin color over performance, experience and leadership potential. In many groups, the “appearance” of working hard is valued more than actual work.
