Pros

Great place to gain knowledge and experience. Supervisors can be great mentors. Good stepping stone.

Cons

Individuals who are looking for professional growth should stand back because this will take a substantial amount of time. The majority of the senior managers have been with the company for more that 20 years. The pay for junior level staff is very low.
