Pros

To learn why you don't want to make a career of working for large greedy corporations.

Cons

Pretty much the whole ball of wax. From getting screwed on pay, to working for free. Working for a company that regards the stock holders above the employee. Age discrimination, check out the average age of the employee, all to save on the benefits they offer. All the old guys work in Wino, the rest are the cattle, who are replaced, just like slaughtered cattle.
