Pros

If you are a manager, then you can easily make fool to other management and you don't need to put lot of effort, because that also you will be doing it with asking somebody. So you are are totally free to enjoy your life.

Cons

If you are a IT, then don't go into hell, because you know if technical people work with managers, they will always dies. And of course if you are surrounded by managers only then you will die in the mud of politics and instead of growing your skill, you will not know where you will reach after a couple of year. Not even IT, business people also the same. Everyone is too isolated, means if you need to know a very small thing then you need to find a correct contact person and it will take forever. And of course they do not respect skillful people, because of that they do not know how much salary should give to whom. Ultimately I won't recommended anyone to join here.
