Pros

Encourages personal growth, variety of activities provided to interact with departments outside your own

Cons

Sr Management does not listen or seek feedback from everyday employees. Assumptions are made without seeking clarification. Have to walk on egg shells with the CFO because he’s a hairpin trigger away from going insane. No direction given and constant state of mutiny
