      Pros

      Coming out of College it is a good company to start of with Knowledge of low level workers are very helpful to you. Gives you access to move up rapidly to a Grade 13 (That is when things start to get hard) Offers in house courses to help you

      Cons

      Pay Scale is low especially if you live in NY area and are thinking or having a family and are a grade 14 or less Tuition Reimbursement $10000 per year especially in NY area for graduate courses is low Communication is poor like most big companies.

      Pros

      High profile company with good bang for your buck. Great exposure internationally and the opportunity to work with diverse team members from all functions.

      Cons

      Extremely political atmosphere - esp. at the NYC office. Strict old fashioned dress code which epitomizes the old school attitude. Promotions tend to happen to those who kiss upwards on a regular basis - if you rock the boat too much you will likely be sidelined - you have to "play the game". Also positions tend to change on too rapid a timeline - especially in Supply Chain and Marketing - people do not settle in their position because they know that they will move on within a few months - they tend to leave a mess behind them, but this is never acknowledged by management.
