Pros

It looks good on your resume. The cafeteria food is pretty cheap. You can come as you are. I've seen people in what looks like pajamas at work. Go figure.

Cons

Because of the big name it's hyped up to be the greatest job in the world...In reality it's just a job like any other place. There's a clear line between management and the underlings. They don't associate with each other.

Pros

Dress down, laid back atmosphere, cool decor, diversity, fun content to work with, access to senior management, working closely to a production environment

Cons

no room for growth, inexperienced managers, employees become disenchanted very quickly, there are several 35 year old coordinators which doesn't bode well for young coordinators

Pros

For those with an entrepreneurial mindset, one can basically assemble and build their own vision. Also, the brand still has strong cache worldwide.

Cons

Everyone has their own vision and is competing for the same resources and tools, with little guidance from senior management. At this point in time, senior management doesn't understand the new complexities of the market place. So great ideas tend to die, and those execs who survive tend to be more politically savvy than talented businesspeople.
