Pros

I can think of no better opportunity to make a global difference in real people's lives for me.

Cons

A lot of top down management in our current culture, coupled with an "analysis to paralysis" tendency. Many managers seem to chase the latest "trend" or "catch phrase" in order to grow their empire rather than actually focusing on the right thing at the right time. This should not be a popularity contest, and we should reward employees that are able to (with proven accuracy) and willing to say the emperor is not wearing clothes.
