Pros

fellow crew members are fun and make the work day go by fast. pleasant, upbeat environment. variety of tasks throughout the day so you don't get bored.

Cons

promotions based on reasons other then ability. in trying to keep up "feel good" mentality, company does things like across the board raises, simple pass/fail, which kills incentive to work hard...why kill yourself when other employees are skating by doing very little work when you are both being seen the same in the review process?
