Pros

Several locations allow for advancement despite moral corruption. Legal cover-ups are commonly insisted to protect employees and profits. Work ethic will never affect positive outlooks.

Cons

Sexual harassment and theft are ignored and rewarded often. Toxic environment and malicious execution.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

Leadership tends to operate in a reactive way, often making last‑minute changes due to decisions that weren’t fully thought through or aligned cross‑functionally. This creates avoidable disruption, inconsistent execution, and a lack of clarity for the teams responsible for carrying out the work.
