Pros

none. Period - if you value your career as a marketing manager stay as far away from this company as possible. Don't be persuaded by the potential salary or LTI. You're personal life will be horrific and the leadership will leave you questioning what made you even consider this an option in the first place. All managers who come say the same thing - 'this was a HUGE mistake'

Cons

1. Leadership is more political than congress and slower than the most infamous of any bureaucracy 2. HR can not be trusted - with anything. I've literally seen HR lie to employees face, than turn around fire them in order to not be caught. 3. Zero creative thinking within the organization and if you aim to be disruptive you will be met with folks who have mastered 'the game' and will use you to bolster themselves.
