Pros

Training is some of the best, and benefits are comparable to other companies.

Cons

Too much bureaucratic nonsense, and general lack of regard for field staff. Overall feeling that this is a place to get trained, get experienced and get out to find real money and respect else where.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
