Pros

It's a job that pays the bills

Cons

Too many unqualified managers who have tunnel vision and have no idea what they are doing or who is doing what...nor how to enable their team. Little to no recognition for going above and beyond. They play favorites to whoever is in their ear the most, shouts the loudest or curry favor.
