Pros

Good benefits, sometimes you have flexible hours, beautiful workplace, good advancement opportunities.

Cons

Depending on dept: work life balance is impossible. JCP works internationally and you have to be "on call" to address issues with overseas offices. "Sick days" aren't really days off either. They encourage you to take your company laptop home every night so you can still work in case you can't make it in the office. Micro managing is a big problem too.
