Pros
Great benefits and job security. The 'Retain and Retrain' policy is truly believed in from a senior management perspective, and, it's great for the corporate bottom line - if you have a current employee who can do the work and a job that needs doing - why would you lay off a team member? Unfortunately, when it comes to implementation of the policy, HR is far too deep into middle managements pocket - they will do what ever they're told and good, experience people end up on the street.
Cons
As with most corporations - people tend to be promoted to their level of incompetence and then loyalty didctates that they stay where they are.
