Pros

- Unlike a lot of international companies here you do not need to waste your time doing any post high school study to get a top job. - You can side track the laborious interview process to get promotions and just become mates with a manager. - All the threats to a positive culture change within the company are quickly eradicated because those who could make it happen either leave or are fired.

Cons

- The lack of diversity in the thinking style of leaders means it is possible to forget which manager gave you which job. - No one makes notes of who said what at meetings, I found this odd at the start but quickly realised it was so leaders could avoid accountability for some awful decisions. - Time spent planning how to improve the business is met with distain and disgust because you should be doing stuff.
