Pros

Good benefits, and working for a global company is good experience to gain.

Cons

Antiquated systems, multiple layers of bureaucracy, and toxic, political environment in Chicago office. Innovation is stifled by waiting for permission from HQ in Europe before any action can be taken in US on even the smallest scale. Inept management.
