Pros

Benefits are outstanding, middle management is decent, training can be very thorough at the basic levels

Cons

Senior management could care less about the workers and pass the buck to middle management, who do the best they can. No room for advancement because the wrong people are promoted, not for management/leadership abilities but because their production numbers were strong and they have friends in higher places. Stability is lacking, lots of layoffs, no real idea of what's going on or why (for lower/middle management).

1. Great place ONLY AND ONLY if you have a good manager 2. flexibility and benefits are great 3. you can learn SO much if you take initiative

Cons

1. If you have a foreign non US based manager your team is most likely SH** 2. VERY VERY hard to gain recognition as 270,000 employees is not likely to be employee focused, youre just a number 3. very unstable if your group is full of contractors
