Pros

Pay, benefits, PTO....oh yea like every other company on this planet.

Cons

There is a vast amount of problems in MO. They have the wrong leaders at the top positions. People who are tyrants, who have big egos, who sit at a lunch table together & seem that they are the superior people of the building. Disgusting to say the least. Most heartless place I ever worked in in my working career. HR cares ONLY about their management and upper management team. Anything they want, they get. The "little" guy/gal gets pushed to the curb. Don't understand why this doesn't bring a concern to the entire workforce. There's a review about the MO. States about little man complexes and the boys club. 100% nailed it! It's the most accurate description about that place over there. Please read it because it's spot on. Oh as for this social media HR response team on gd. It's pathetic, if I go to HR/direct report and tell them about my issues they throw it back in my face. They only look after their own. There was two surveys at MO and the people let that place have it. Were there any changes? Of course not, same issues and no resolution. Please, beware about joining that particular brand in MO. You have been warned!
