Corporate Jungle
Pros: Tons of resources,defined career path (growth opportunities), pro-education,  advanced technologies, fast paced and dynamic environment (won't have time to get bored),  very knowledgeable personnel and the opportunity to work with people from around the world.
Cons: The organizational culture in PR is very toxic. If you are excellent in your job,  you will suffer (literally) because there are people that won't rest until you're out (or get burned). There's a lot of unnecessary micro-management and if you are not on their 'favorites list', you will get stucked on the same day-to-day tasks (no new projects for you). There's little to no space for creativity or innovation - and when there is,  your ideas will be stolen and you won't receive credit for your hard work. People with less experience and academic preparation than you may have more opportunities  if they hang out with upper management. Forget about work ethics and professionalism; its all about politics and having the right connections. This company is not for the good ones,  you have to be willing to crush people and deceive your colleagues in order to keep going.
