Pros
A good brand to have on your resume. You'll get the chance to see how a Fortune 100 brand builds their marketing. Good pay and benefits. Work life balance is great.
Cons
Blatant sycophant behavior would take place in front of my manager and director during stand-ups. Team members who were on the more genuine side would be quite uncomfortable. Meanwhile, the leaders would either turn their head, or enable them if they felt it was coming from an Associate who was savvy politically or had rising popularity within the department. (What was advantageous for the career climb was more important than substance.) If you're mainly looking to apply yourself creatively or strategically you'll be disappointed. At times, I found that my manager (who was quite patronizing despite demonstrating limited ability) struggled to understand high-level brand concepts. It seemed like most of the department was designed not to build that unconventional 'What's in your Wallet' advertising you see in mass media (that's done by external ad agencies, btw)—but instead, are there simply to maintain the corporate brand's status quo. As a result, there's a lot of hive mind. And deviation from that poses the risk of coming off as threatening to management, who's mind is too far gone from the concept of any sort of individual imagination.
