Pros

Great work/Life Balance. I rarely have to work long hours and have the chance to go home and be with my family. They won't take your life away from you. To date, I've gotten plenty of feedback on my performance and know where I stand with my manager. Salary compensation is also pretty good, even if benefits aren't up to the standards that I'm used to. There are lots of opportunites for learning and development within the company including a slew of classes and seminars that you can take.

Cons

Very steeped in tradition and tied to the success with their core demographic of 35-50 yo women. The company is also very silo'ed. You are often unclear about what other parts of the company are up to and collaboration across business units is very minimal. Management seems take a long time getting projects moving and aligning things across the organization, hence the work is sometimes chaotic and not well planned out. People are often running cross purposes and/or political infighting because each division just wants to do their own thing and doesn't want to be bothered with making sure they play nice with other parts of the company.
