Pros

Good way to get some basic industry experience to put on a resume. Training programs are well done and thorough.

Cons

The promotional process is ridiculously complicated and requires huge amounts of jumping through hoops on your own time outside of work. Also, jumping through those hoops in a timely manner is required if you don't want to get canned. Apt to make you just stop caring. Insensitive mid level management, and oblivious upper level management. Additionally, none of the management, including low level managers, actually had to jump through the hoops they now force on new hires. Also currently an oppressive place to work due to relentless layoffs month after month.
