Pros

It provides a regular paycheck. The people in certain departments (i.e. IT and a few other Analysts) actually know what they're doing. The company is making money hand over fist. Relatively easy to build up your resume.

Cons

Many of the people who get promoted aren't the most qualified, but they've done the most sucking up. One is example is of a candidate with neither managerial nor analytic experience was 'placed' in a position requiring both of those skill sets over another, fully qualified, candidate. And unfortunately this sort of thing isn't the exception, but the norm. This leads to abysmal moral and utter lack of loyalty towards the company.
