Pros

There are good training classes; however, they are usually limited to select managers. Having experience with a Fortune 200 company on a resume is fantastic. Learning positive and negative management and leadership skills from different supervisors is a bonus. Learn how to work in cross-functional teams and manage projects. Get involved in company sponsored groups and community service projects. Exposure to a wide variety of people gives opportunity to determine what is really important for career and personal life. If you are a good brown-noser or are willing to sell your integrity & self-respect, and screw over you coworkers, you can be very successful in title, salary and bonus.

Cons

The way employees are treated and many times it is covered up. The company talks up EEO and harrassment in the work place, but will sweep as much under the rug as possible so the problems continue. Management (not executives) health insurance was cut drastically and now deductibles are thousands of dollars. The execs have a superficial customer focus and only worry about a bonus. If meeting a deadline ensures a bonus the deadline will be met, even if the project is not ready. Other systems will be shut off for a new one that is not yet working, just because the bonus is the priority.
