Pros

Company you can relate too. Nice corporate office in the suburbs. People do tend to stay there. Business casual with jean on Friday. Cafeteria, fitness center, and daycare on site.

Cons

Very merchant oriented - based on seniority and gut feel. Must wait for a position to be available to get promoted. Don't get a promotion just by taking on new responsibilities and tasks. Some people have been there too long and really aren't that smart.
