Pros

If you are able to contribute recognition and opportunities to move up are abundant….

Cons

Some upper management individuals showed favoritism and acted as if they are a better person…Some managers did not belong and in todays world would not survive there….But most managers were great people creating a great team environment and recognized individual talent and input contributions…
