Pros

Opportunities for growth within the company if your willing to work hard and play the politics. Many different positions and operations all over the world.

Cons

Allows politics to drive certain discisions. Promotes people based on only who they know, or where they went to school, or what degree they have and forgets that they need to listen to the employees that are driving the success of the company and know what is needed to be successful.

Pros

In terms of compensation in the executive ranks, I cannot complain, they are competitive. Depending on division/operation, you do have the ability to manage medium to large operations. You even have an opportunity to manage globally if you can make it up beyond the Operations level.

Cons

HR has more voice than most other companies, but if you have a weak HR person then whatever management wants, goes. Leaders, depends on what clique you are from determines to some extent your longevity. Overall, they tend to reward mediocre talent at times and overlook those in the trenches really making it happen.
