Pros

Benefits knowledge of staff in roles.

Cons

Government job, limited thinking outside the box. A practice of not my job, very few people advance. Still good boys company, managers promote friends and people with outside connections. Managers are not held accountable for managing employees (in annual review). No process to award outstanding workmanship for employees to submit changes in the organization.
