Pros
None at all. Other than amusement when the horror didn't hurt anyone.
Cons
Yes, it actually is a cult of personality. Monster second- and first-in-commands survive like roaches in nuclear holocaust while all the groundlings work to the bone. If you don't wear red lipstick, black rayon, bleach your wedge hair cut, and waste precious work hours talking on the phone about your house renovations and how nobody except yourself live the values; then you may as well set yourself on fire. The values meetings feel like a creepy church "going clear" session. People sob behind doors and on long walks. Bonus and merit programs are a sham as performance periods that count are re-arranged re-interpreted so as not to pay out, ever. The company stock buy-back is a sham to raise the price and cash out. Oh, the product is nothing but curated staples on knotty wood.
