Pros

Salary (but it comes at a price)

Cons

This is where ineptitude meets with inertia and Machiavellianism. Those in management are too focused on looking good instead of producing quality products and services. The entire department was busy pretending to be busy instead of delivering by deadlines and/or work together cohesively to build any real synergy. Management wouldn't even try to lead or manage staff. Instead--their backs to the group in their corner offices--these managers spoke in vague terms and analogies to try to appear competent and busy, all the while other more alarming behavior goes unchecked and even dismissed in the quest to appear proficient.
