Pros

Not much. OT can be a lot or none. People who should be promoted don’t and everyone else does because they have relatives high up.

Cons

They only bend over backwards to promote people they know i.e. someone who is related to a person in management, brown noses with person above them. They are the ones that get promoted super fast and don’t have to even meet the requirements and brag about it. Everyone else has to work hard and meet the minimum requirements from corporate.
