Pros

If you are lucky, you may get a comparable pay. A few well-known brands. Depending on your department you may get some reasonable work-life balance.

Cons

Great example of a passive-aggressive culture, where it’s all about survival at any cost. You’re on your own when it comes to career development; absolutely no company support. Constant cost cutting seems to be the only way to manage the business. Very few to no promotional opportunities; career development rotations ceased to exist about 4 years ago. Notion of employee motivation doesn’t exist. Obsolete performance management system, where people are managed by fear of getting a low rating at the end of the year.
