Pros

There is a lot of autonomy, and freedom to do what works, depending on where you are on staff.

Cons

Leadership at the top is extremely regressive, numbers-focused, and narrow. Opportunities for advancement are basically non-existent, unless you want to be a regional director (which is entirely administrative, no real hands-on work). Some regions have terrible leadership and everyone suffers.
