Pros

Depends on which part of the company you work in. However I really can't think of any pros besides the employees.

Cons

Hiring criteria is irrational for what someone would end up doing. No opportunity for advancement, they would rather hire outside applicants at lower pay OR post a position even though they already know who will get the job. People have been doing the same job for 20+ years so unless they retire you cant move up.
