Pros

Customers are usually very appreciative.

Cons

Complete job description for some positions is "All other duties as assigned," and can be downgraded for "Exceptions" but they don't tell you in advance what constitutes "An exception." Attempted to get employees to not participate in a morale survey by telling them the e-mail was a hack and not to open it; when that back-fired, they refused to release the results.
