Pros

Offers average to above average benefits and compensation for similar jobs at other companies.

Cons

Same bureaucratic issues as other large companies. HR and benefit policies make you feel like a number--because you are. There are cultural initiatives at the corporate level that would be very useful if they were driven all the way from the top down. Local management has a lot of agency over how things are run so the culture is very different depending on what location you report to. Many of the locations are not healthy working environments.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
