Pros
Pay, Car, 401k, Some Co-Workers
Cons
Be prepared to fall in line and know that the loyalty you show will only buy you some time. Be prepared to drink the kool aid because your input will not be valued as it will die with your direct report. Also, the organization uses spies to micro manage everything you do. The job is only as hard as what you make of it. Just be prepared to be a yes person and be able to defend your performance because everything from selling programs to products is forced and not nurtured causing friction between your boss and the retailer. The retail environment will begin (if it has not already) to catch on to the one sided relationship focus BAT has for everything and start to push back. I really empathize with those who are still putting up the good fight for a lost cause due to the same ole rigor moral of the executives beloved shell game of shareholder magic.
