Pros

Market leadership, rich history, financial stability. Broad set of businesses creates many opportunities for movement around company. Majority of employees work from home, which provides flexibility.

Cons

Pay and benefits cuts year after year. Sales incentives plans cut to the point of non existence. Total compensation for first and second line management is typically lower than front line employees. Many positions are funded year to year by the various brands, so there is constant organizational churn. Teams are geographically and globally disbursed but travel is not allowed for team nor management meetings to tackle strategies in person nor to build organizational trust.
