Pros

Competitive Salary, Good Benefits, Must have specialist role if not you will be a generalist and do just about everything except take the trash out.

Cons

Huge internal management issues. Always rush to make changes but zero planning involved. No long term strategy, high turnover. Very few job specialist roles available. Every position is a generalist role. Outside Director.
