Pros

Benefits are really good and the salaries are not not bad.

Cons

It's the old boys club with management. The lack of empathy for the employees is notable and creates a sense of complacency. Corporate vision is dismantled as it trickles down to each branch. Corporate management seems to be focused on reporting and so long as it looks good on paper they seem to be fine with they way things are going. The company has the tendency to react late to trends and forecasts and start hiring late in the game after the current employees are exhausted and the trend has passed. At the end of the year, they lay off to adjust to the numbers. This is terrible for morale...
