Pros

Reliable/Stable Industry Competitive Pay and Benefits Flex Time Off, if meeting objectives

Cons

Too many competing initiatives, not aligned within bloated corporate level. (How many directors are there?) Corporate initiatives and standards disconnected from front line reality (lack of flexibility). Management bogged down in reporting, metrics, meetings, and templates.
