Pros

Doesn't seem to matter if you are incompetent, intoxicated, insufferable, or all of the above. The odd selection of individuals with health/substance abuse problems will definitely affect ones environment, performance, and morale. However, if you want a job where you can check out all day, might be a perfect fit.

Cons

Cons are same as "pros".
