Pros

You get to interact with a vast network of people (externally as well as internally). The team members themselves are nice but the management is utter rubbish. You will definitely learn discipline and will learn a lot about yourself as a person.

Cons

Where to start? For what is expected of you and the responsibility you have the pay is too low. Furthermore, managment are a real problem - which is reflected in the staff turnover (ususally 1 person leaves per month). The hierarchy and attidude of management is a real issue. There is no career progress.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
