Political... advancement is strictly based on who you know, not what you know, how long you've been employed, or your personal strengths.

Pros

Great benefits, team atmosphere, solid upper management. Always looking for ways to improve efficiency within the company and development is sharp and chooses great locations to live and work.

Cons

There are constantly new initiatives within the company, most are good, however there are times when things are rolled out a bit prematurely and there are some growing pains that have a negative effect on employees or specific properties as things are not always beneficial to he entire company, but for the majority.
