Pros
A lot of minor perks at the corporate office. Employees are suited with newer equipment to do their job. In IT there has been a lot of innovation as well as plenty of opportunity to take ownership of technologies and make your mark. There is plenty of opportunity to maintain a strong Work/Life balance once you have established yourself. And on most occasions it really is a family atmosphere.
Cons
Favoritism runs amuck between management and staff, especially in IT. HR doesn't have control over IT management like it is supposed to. The benefits are weak. $1,000 for each semester of college not to exceed $2k. Really? Health insurance coverage is average, but always changing every year. My Dependent Care was automatically reduced 10% one year because of some legal compliance reason. The company still uses paper faxing for T&E reimbursement. Performance Mgmt. tools are absolutely atrocious! Management owns the burden of Performance Mgmt.
