Pros

Career growth and no shortage of interesting work to do.

Flexible work hours.

Compensation is not bad but not great.

Discount program is very nice.

Pay increases are not good, even for outstanding reviews or promotions.

Cons

Bureaucracy and churn in organizational structure.

No real single owner; the responsibilities are spread out through several organizations.

Politics get in the way of getting things done efficiently.

Ironically, there's no money at the department level to study issues or correct them.

There's no money for operations staff to correct problems before they break.

Sometimes it's difficult to see if individual contributions are making an impact to the bottom line.

Advice to Management

The constant churn in organizational structure is a moral killer.
