Pros

IF you know the right people you can get into a good position that you may not be worthy of.

Cons

Toxic environment, toxic work ethics, toxic culture. No diversity. Bias. You will be told and made to believe you are not capable of advancing. No oppotunity to advance, even if you have been doing the job and/or have the skills. They will hire outside and pay more for less talent than individuals already doing the job. You must work really hard to get anywhere, and then maybe, just maybe you can go 1 level higher to do your current job plus your new job - sometimes even both without a promotion.
