Pros

Respect for people. Recognition of performance - both socially and financially. Continuous opportunity for professional growth with almost no external recruitment happening when people from the company can fulfill the gap.

Cons

Operations are not big enough to produce opportunities in all departmental areas. Non core related areas such as finance, IT, HR lack career advancement options.
