Pros
If you have no morals and love the corporate style the long range compensation can be good. you must exercise caution though - it is to the advantage of your superiors to get rid of you before you are fully vested.
Cons
Corporations need to have a purpose beyond making money. After 15 years in the healthcare industry my place of employment was sold to Empres. In less than a year turn over was over 80% when I could not take it any longer. Care for patients was driven totally by dollars first. As a manager I was expected to ignore any patient needs that might cost anything. It was frowned upon to stop and tie someones shoelace - my time should be focused on saving or making money for the company. I am not generally such a sour person - but there is not much to recommend this incredibly shallow organization.
