Pros

You can have a good work life balance. The brand is strong and important. The work benefits are good and their is great health care, pension, insurance and all that kind of thing.

Cons

The senior and middle management are full of politics and are a nightmare to work for. The level of micro management from the very top down to middle management makes it a stressful and very hard place to work. You get almost no support. The values that they talk of, well you can forget that.
