Pros

None really. You're better off anywhere else.

Cons

A lot of the upper management is based in Europe, so there's a chance your direct manager will have no oversight on a day-to-day basis. This would be problematic on its own, but the situation is further complicated by the fact that (at the editor level) Springer isn't exactly attracting the best or the brightest. This creates a perfect environment for your manager to be incompetent and/or absuive. If you take your concerns to Springer's HR, they will just encourage you to leave the company. The most you can expect in terms of employee retention is a little half-hearted gas lighting geared toward making you accept more abuse.
