Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn new things and acquire skills. Diverse work force with introduction of many different programs and initiatives to stay competitive. Consistent and frequent capitol improvements in retail stores and facilities.

Cons

Parent company is centralizing more and more operations in the name of competition. Some operations that are more efficiently handled locally are being eliminated to cut costs but this sometimes creates less responsiveness to regional markets and greater costs.
