Pros

Great brands, solid training, excellent benefit program/stock options. Great reputation in the market, with most customers. Excellent support staff.

Cons

Lots of hours, though they do give time off for personal when needed. Getting leaner which means more hours for those remaining. Sometimes people at all levels are rotated too quickly to get to know and have an impact to improve the business.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
