Pros: It's a job. If you don't have expectations beyond that, and are flexible to know that you might be out tomorrow.
Cons: Lip service. Don't believe it, especially from senior management who think they're doing the right thing, but all they're doing is propping themselves up so they feel good as they look to retire.
