Pros

If you have friends in high places that can always give high ratings, and nepotism doesn't bother you, I guess those are pros.

Cons
  • Does not recognize excellent work at the individual contributor level unless you have friends in high places.
  • Exploits employees.
  • Only worried about quarterly financial results for Wall Street.
  • Pro off-shoring jobs.
Advice to Management

Treat your employees with respect.
