Pros

You can learn as much as the management allows you to learn. Flexible work-time schedule. Company will pay you to stay and does not believe firing people even with probable cause. Lots of people with job securities.

Cons

Business units are like silos. Right hand does not talk or work with the left hand (too much in-flightings). Company does not train employees properly. You are at the mercy of the people you work closely. Management requires absolute loyalty from employees, not with the company, but with the direct reports. To advance, you needed to be hired by "the inner circle" of the particular set of the people who are running the regions or the HQ. Too many people with job securities.
