Pros

Generally hire top quartile grads with great potential. Not a place for the dimwitted or the lazy. Many advancement opportunities for those who seek it and work the extra hours. High expectations for performance and thoroughness to advance.

Cons

With emphasis on standardized work processes to lower costs, individuality becomes difficult. HR system seems to favor only management oriented profiles.
