Pros

Back when it was called Branded Products, this was a fun and exciting place to work with interesting projects, smart people, and good culture.

Cons

Now it is being systematically disassembled and eliminated. There was a layoff back in 4/20/2015, and then another much larger one on 8/20/2015. Terrible mismanagment and bad investments by the top level management turned a once profitable and growing department into a crumbling mess. There were a lot of talented, driven, collaborative people who were treated really bad along the way.
