You’re paid to travel to the business unit and to functional trainings.

Pros

I love the people I work with. They give you great opportunities across the company to network and really find what you enjoy doing. They have multiple work trips every year for LDP's where they pay for you to go to different Business Units and explore different companies and parts of the country. Benefits are great, 401k match is great at 9%, leave is good for starting employee at 15 days. certain BU's give different holidays like the week of Christmas off rather than just a few days that don't count toward vacation time. great for allowing people to move around laterally within and across BU's. LDP's get a guaranteed promotion to whatever each BU's version of "level 2" is no matter what. It comes with a pay raise.

Cons

Certainly could make more elsewhere. Depending on where they send you, your salary could be extremely low relative to the cost of living. Every engineering LDP makes the same amount except for electrical and computer engineers. But even their salary is low relative to the rest of the industry.

Pros

Experience, looks good on resume. If flying in a private jet is appealing to you then I guess that could be a "pro." They are flexible about doc appointments and things like that.

Cons

Benefits are terrible, pay is way below market, expected to work 83292 hours a week. Nothing ever gets done. You will spend hours/days/weeks on projects that never get looked at. Everyone's primary concern is CYA and personal advancement. Lots of drama/politics/backstabbing. It's like being in middle school all over again. Zero work life balance - 10 vacation days for first five years.
