Pros

I spent 7 years with the company and was able to grow from a customer service role to the marketing department. They were great about giving you the opportunity to grow within the company.

Cons

By being promoted through various roles, I acquired new job responsibilities, but would end up keeping some of the same from a previous role. Also some poor management from those who had been with the company for too long.
