Pros

Not many pros these days.

Cons

No trust or transparency - lots of secrets and decisions from the top. Care and investment in employees has gone away in the last 6 months. New CEO and new leaders coming in and doing takeover. Just another PE takeover in the making and employees are just cogs in the machine to make the people in charge more money. Those of us who have been here doing the work for many years no longer matter and won't get anything out of it. Recent layoffs are evidence of this - everyone is scared they will be in the next round.
