Pros

Flexible hours, come and go as you need. A large company with many areas to work in.

Cons

It can be difficult to get promoted. There are no clear reasons why some people get promoted and others don't. It seems to be more political than anything. Good performance doesn't get rewarded with promotions; it just gets additional work.

Advice to Management

Be consistent in how you promote people. Provide clear direction to employees and honor your word. Employees often go around to check the boxes to get promoted, and others get promoted without accomplishing anything. This is very frustrating.
