Pros

It is a well-recognized brand.

Free passes to the park for you and your family.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, and obsolete technology mean you will be very frustrated. The company embodies "groupthink," so great ideas are squashed if a committee doesn't agree. Expect to be micromanaged, as even Vice Presidents are involved in daily bug triage meetings. Very reactionary leadership.

Advice to Management

Plan ahead instead of reacting after the fact. Trust your team and delegate authority.
