Pros

People work hard in general. Some groups are better than others. People tend to move in groups due to working together a long time.

Cons

No one knows what they are working towards.

Incentive programs do not tie to work done day-to-day.

People are forced to get negative messages to fit a curve.

Cronyism is rampant.

Advice to Management

Acknowledging that change is needed is good, but one needs to promote it. Risk-taking means that some initiatives fail, and one cannot roll back all changes due to one failure.
