Pros
*Job security for life. *Company never lays off. *Tons of career opportunities due to company growth, combined with a rotational job culture. *You will be able to move to all parts of the business or any function (hr, marketing, IT, finance, strategy etc) even though you have zero expertise in that area! it is wild - anyone can do anything here - you aren’t required to have any competence or subject matter expertise -even in Sr leadership roles. * Not a high performance culture. Performance evaluations are subjective and you aren’t required to deliver anything in most roles - hence the great work life balance for most . * All you need to do to be successful is to fit the culture. Be indirect, passive aggressive and don’t rock the boat and you are fine for life.
Cons
- All of the pros above have led to a lot weaknesses if you are smart enough to realize it - if you are a high performer that wants to make a difference, you will be frustrated - Tons of overlap in roles and depts - redundancy and inefficiency abound
