Pros

Not really anything at the moment. It used to be a fulfilling job, poor decision making from the top has put them in a difficult position and now everyone else has to pay the price to get back on track.

Cons

The salary is about 15 to 20 years behind keeping up with cost of living in Boston. It's insulting. Not remotely close to market compensation no matter what HR pretends. Zero work life balance Everyone even AVP's seem to be stressed, scrambling and unhappy.
