Pros

People work together well, when management doesn't get in the way. Good collaboration between groups; training, while compulsory, does benefit the employees.

Cons

Management openly plays favorites and encourages "clique" style atmosphere. Management encourages toxic atmosphere between employees and does not respect or attempt to retain actual talent, only keeps "friends".
