Pros

Job security and plenty of opportunity if you want to manage people.

Cons

Bureaucracy. There is infinite red tape to get anything done. Productivity has ground to a halt. It takes weeks of committee reviews and managment approvals sometimes to make even the smallest change. Management is in CYA mode.
