Pros

Good pay (but not worth it for utter lack of work-life balance), corporate car, fun people to work with (if they're American)

Cons

No room to advance if you're not a white male, customary to work upwards of 70 hours per week, very outdated working model, no transparency from leadership leads to gossip culture amongst the "little people", constant last minute projects leave you putting out fires - rather than being proactive - forcing us to wonder if we signed up to be firefighters or work for a retail grocery chain that isn't even open yet in the states, fear mongering company culture, no loyalty to employees - employees seen as expendable, working in volatile and unsafe conditions
