Pros

Great time off / vacation time for new employees and then 3 more extra days at 5 year anniv.

Cons

Senior Management is not as connected with the people reporting under them. Moving within the company is not as fluid or smooth as believed to be. Moving up in the company is not very easy, there is a lot of internal corp politics.
