Pros

A lot of different businesses under one company means you have a lot to choose from Lengthy tenure of employees Promote within Employee purchase of salt is sometimes offered

Cons

Businesses do not communicate or work together so it is very difficult to move to another business A lot of back-stabbing, mostly directed to newer employees. Once you have a 3-5 years it starts to slow, but you still need to play the game for a few more years until your ideas or new ways of doing things are accepted. Multiple levels of leadership means unless you have it in with a VP or GM, you need to make sure your work is well known Promoting within has led to inbreeding of ideas and ways to do things Very low pay relative to other companies nationally
