Pros

Great mission. The people around the enterprise are generally there for the mission and values and all work very hard. It's very fast paced, which can be good for some people but may alienate others.

Cons

Volatile change situation - Change often comes at the expense of creating a positive culture, and not including the large employee population to share their thoughts and rationale when implementing large, organization wide change initiatives leading to burnout. Many employees in corporate and senior leadership positions are fearful for their jobs due to multiple, org restructures happening back to back in a less than 12-month period.
