Pros

Generously compensated as compared to the industry in general. Keep your head down, don't make waves, and ou're fine in this company

Cons

Limited advancement opportunity unless you are in sales or located close to corporate. This is an organization that is in constant transition, almost as if they are trying to find their identity.
