Pros

The new complex located in Fort Mill, SC is impressive. It offers a cafeteria with many options for breakfast and lunch, an impressive fitness facility, and desks that can be adjusted for those who prefer to stand. There are opportunities to move up, though, like most places, there is a bit of the "who you know" when it comes to your chances of landing a job. Additionally, there is a wide range when it comes to management styles. Some departments are content to do your job and as long as the results are there, they'll leave you alone.

Cons

Some areas, (unfortunately my situation) will micromanage you in ways you never imagined. I'm talking about inputting a code in your phone to indicate that you are on break, when you're just going to the bathroom. And they'll subtract that from your break time. The have sensors to indicate whether or not you are at your desk. So, yes, in some places Big Brother really is watching. And micromanaging your life to death.
