Pros

They have a nice corporate office, with a gym, tennis courts, etc. It is an OK stepping stone for one or two years, until you can find something better.

Cons

The corporate office likes cheap labor. Thus, they like to hire people fresh out of college. They like to fast track them up, to replace people in senior positions and management positions. Thus, if you are not just out of college, you will be managed passive aggressively, until you quit, so that your salary and benefits package can be replaced by an entry level employee. If you are a college recruit, but you fail to get promoted in the first year, and, thus, you fail to replace a person in a senior position, you will be managed passively aggressively, until you quit. If passive aggressive treatment does not result in you quitting, you will eventually be included in an annual layoff. This is not a company for anyone who wants a career. This is not a company for anyone looking for a medium or long term arrangement. Here, if you work hard, you will regret it. If you work hard, you will never get promoted. Those who succeed play the game and navigate the bureaucracy. The office is a very frustrating work environment. It has a very high turnover. In terms of career, it is a complete waste of time.
