Pros

Great people to work with, ability to do cross-functional work, good connections with many vendors, new challenges every day. Excitement level as we were staring a brand new Fortune 500 company, new brands, new policies, and new procedures from scratch.

Cons

Entrenched in dying industries, ineffective senior leadership (especially the CEO), decision making only made at top levels of company, desire to maintain status quo, unwillingness by upper management to listen to the Voice of both the Customer and Employees, terrible corporate culture (unusually formal and top-heavy) and work-life balance. Corporate Headquarters was completely disconnected from the rest of the company in the field, especially the Senior Leadership Team.
