Pros

work flexibility. to be honest the list is short

Cons

lack of leadership, unrealistic business targets, poor staff morale, ordered to do tasks that add no value and deliver no business outcome however this keeps their bosses happy. Offices have been redone and are impossible to work in - too much noise, not enough space (they want you to work from home)

Pros

Some good 1st line managers, good benefits, good pay (for existing employees, maybe not for new hires), many work from home opportunities

Cons

No regard for employees as people, no regard for customers, cost cutting has gone beyond cutting the fat to cutting the bone, exempt workers expected to work lots of overtime for no pay, continually challenges workers to do more with less, continually laying off (especially older) US employees and replacing with "global resources" (lower cost overseas employees).
