Pros

Plenty of opportunity to learn how not to do things.

Cons

All decisions are made by "corporate teams" that are so out-of-touch with the actual daily operations of their individual operating companies. Corporate leadership is blind (or just doesn't care) to the lost revenue and employee productivity caused by "cost-saving" actions. Decisions center around affecting short-term stock prices, rather than increasing the long-term value of the firm. For all the talk about "FBS", there is little evidence of continuous improvement actually taking place. Compensation is well below market value, which leads to a drain of any actual talent at all levels.
