      Pros

      Want to get things done? Its who you know and how you stroke their ego. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      Still an "Old Boys Club", as in "It's who you know". Positions in leadership rarely get opened up to staff and others outside of the org. It is given to people who are the most vocal, stroke peoples egos, and play the political games.
