Pros

The management in the Chicago office works so hard to support their teams through a very difficult acquisition. People in the office are what make the organization. They are hardworking and friendly.

Cons

Everyone is spread too thin. Their processes are not streamlined and it takes the focus away from selling. Industry is dying and the market is oversaturated. They need to understand what their competitors are doing and get ahead of the game. Marketing, marketing, marketing. The upper management is very out of touch with the day to day problems.

Pros

Flat organizational structure with lots of responsibility. If you're an entrepreneur there are plenty of opportunities to take the bull by the horns and make of it what you will. Anyone expecting opportunities on a silver platter however need not apply.

Cons

Compensation is misaligned. There are rather severe dislocations in salary across the division as well as with subordinates making more than some managers despite less experience, track record, or responsibility. Sad.
