Pros
If you like being micro-managed by big brother in Olathe, KS, then this is a great place to work. Don't show too much initiative or creative thinking, as this is clearly seen as rebellious. With a UK HR department that cares more about keeping you at your workstation during working hours than developing associates, morale is excellent.
Cons
Draconian HR approach to employees: a group of labourers to be controlled rather than inspired. Poor leadership: UK leaders generally do what USA tells them due to lack of any other ideas. High performers receive little reward other than a photo in the canteen when they have done well enough to be named 'associate of the quarter'.
