Pros

Provided a decent base hourly wage for doing little to nothing, however, the entire organization is based on the carrot and stick mentality so it doesn't last long.

Cons

The organization has an overwhelming number of layers. Information does not flow freely and it seems like the less front line employees know the better. The company makes money when consumers make quick decisions without information and thinking the purchase through fully. "Corporate kool-aid" abounds and those that consume it succeed. Business model is suspiciously close to a pyramid scheme.
