Pros – People and pay are the only pros I can think of.

Cons – One of the most fragmented businesses I've ever been exposed to. Most service delivery managers are clueless (literally). Company promotes incompetence over and over again. Upper management not in touch with those who make a difference. The previous post about a "me too" services organization is so true.
