Pros

Great co-workers if you can stay out of the gossip loop,

Cons

*Round, after round, after round of layoffs *Old school upper management that doesn't ebb and flow with change *Out of date systems that will receive a band aid instead of an upgrade *HR personnel who are there to protect management *SLT values themselves over their employees *A good culture that unfortunately has become a toxic culture *Now called (in most inner employee circles) "Nike 2.0" - meaning welcome to the dog-eat-dog world of sportswear
