Pros
There are opportunities for profit sharing, stocks and they offer great benefits. However, you’ll never make enough money to take part in any of that and unless you stay for several years it won’t matter. Additionally, if you live extremely frugally and your only hobby is work then you may make enough to pay for gas and possibly two meals a day working here. But you’ll never be able to use the benefits such as the vacation time which managers are discouraged from letting their employees fully utilize since it doesn’t pay out and doesn’t roll over. Middle and lower management are so stressed keeping up with needless processes and explaining themselves that their teams are largely left undirected and with an even greater burden of work (even though they were understaffed to begin with). All of this is to cut expenses as much as possible and increase the dividend on the stocks that you’ll never be able to afford anyway. Oh and so you can pay the CEO 2 million a year even though she sits on the board of several other companies.
Cons
Pretty much what I listed above. To reiterate the pros are theoretical and very few employees will ever actually realize them.
