Pros

Market recognition and Discounted air tickets.

Cons

Micro management- each department is an island Stress- efficency is measured by number of hours spent in office-minimum work hours expected 12 hours- 7 Am to 7 PM- Line Managers whims and fancies rule the roost- Some Line Managers like to call themselves as BOSS- They are not leaders with an " we' approach but only an "I" approach Disciplinary action can be initiated at Line Mangers whims- HR does not intervene- What is misconduct is not defined- Disciplinary hearing is followed in letter but not in spirit
