Pros

If you are young and looking for a place to begin your career, this may be the place for you. Get your experience in the industry and get out.

Cons

Highly political. You NEVER know who your true friends are. Company killed the culture with a reorganization several years ago and can't figure out why employees don't live the brand. This was a truly wonderful place to work until 2003. You looked forward to getting to work; that's no longer true. Senior management oftentimes incompetent and frequently repeats errors made in the past. State they embrace "leadership courage" and those with differing opinions. If you're one of those then you're cast aside. You won't enjoy any success unless you are a lapdog.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
