Pros

I had a decent salary.

Cons

Little to no communication, even vertically from corporate downward. We went through org restructures every 6-8 months. Lots of leaders spread across the country who never speak to you or step foot in your office, but make all the huge decisions that impact peoples' livelihoods. Just garbage. Lots of failing up here.
