Pros

Large company with many opportunities for advancement. Business partners on the logistical side of things create further opportunity. Unionised workforce, unless you consider that a con. Excellent pension package.

Cons

Locations are spread out and numerous, and it can be difficult to get to know everyone, or where the best opportunities are. I have heard that salaries are less than industry standard, but that has not been my personal experience.
