Pros
Seriously the only pros would be the annual surf day which is a day sitting on the beach and getting paid and the annual out of control christmas party where everyone drinks way to much and lets loose. Oh and I guess I could also mention the stopping work by 4pm on a Friday and everyone drinking while doing nothing productive.
Cons
Silo operation - Brands in the portfolio don't work well together, so many incompetent people working for the company that will frustrate the majority of intelligent people. Very much "who you know" to get anywhere, totally incompetent HR Manager who lacks vision and stands in the way of most innovation. A lot of role duplication across the multitude of brands in the portfolio, lots of general money waste and mismanagement - everyday the corporate office has walls knocked down or built and furniture moved from one place to the next instead of putting money into
