Pros
The company (had) 20 different subsidiaries so if you had the flexibility in your assigned role, you could reach out to other company heads to learn more about their operations and perhaps take on an assignment. I learned and did projects within cable TV, cable telephony, data and fax encryption, cable networks, movie production, satellite radio, high-speed internet access and more.
Cons
Sometimes too political. People with little talent were promoted or saved from leaving a role at Jones for another job offer.
