Good benefit package and salary . Usually a nice bonus at year end.

Cons

You must be able to devote many hours to online training. Constant internal management changes and re organization that MUST cost millions,not to mention the jobs that are lost. And who does the work form those lost jobs? The poor schumck that stays with the company! Very stressful place to work.
