Pros

The coworkers are a good group of people to work with. Very easy to talk to. It is a community of people willing to share knowledge to help you learn. They don't hoard it, worrying you may be out for their job. They are supportive and want you to succeed.

Cons

Once you are in a position, it is hard to move up. Multiple people have been told they are too integral in their position and it would be too difficult to replace them. It's in the best interest of the company to keep you where you are. But that is not in the best interest of the employee. There is no incentive to do your job too well, as you won't be rewarded with a promotion as you might have been promised in the interview.

Pros

Paycheck. Got to travel and get miles, etc

Cons

Told 25% travel and really was 70% travel. I get yelled at so I yell at my people culture. Company has moved HQ 3 times in the past decade - commute into chicago is awful. Just a marketing and sales arm of the parent company in Japan.
