Pros

Great "career" advancement and other opportunities to work within the company. Many good vendor resources to help with your customer needs/sales. Many training programs and they constantly add more that you are required to complete.

Cons

Constant revolving door of employees which helps with the "career" advancements (in my 5 years I had 10+ employees fired/quit). When you need help you do not get it even if you are the only person at your location. There is constant changes in how you're suppose to do your job as well as in compensation.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
