Pros

- great opportunity to grow within the organization - excellent benefits (insurance, vacation, etc) - competitive pay (a lot of which is determined by the work you do) - growing organization with great financial stability - opportunity to move domestically or internationally - ability to travel and experience things most don't get to

Cons

- expectations to/from 'the street' seem unattainable in the long-term - sometimes difficult for local representatives to see the big picture - international presence needs focus - pay structure for some departments seems to change too often - from time to time it feels like we forget we're a multi-billion dollar organization
