Pros
The team is experienced and knows the company’s systems well. They’ve been together a long time, which makes day-to-day operations predictable and steady. Their familiarity with internal processes helps keep basic support consistent, and their long tenure means they can handle routine issues with little oversight.
Cons
Legacy driven culture with entrenched cliques and favoritism; innovation and initiative are discouraged; knowledge is heavily gatekept, creating bottlenecks and single points of failure; senior staff are resistant to change and slow to adapt to modern tools; poor accountability and communication lead to repeated mistakes; performance is based on tenure, not results; proactive or high performing employees are often marginalized, resulting in stagnation, low morale, and talent loss.
