Pros

Good benefits, working conditions, and software to use.

There are many different areas of expertise that a person could grow into and learn many different things regarding the business, as well as IT-related topics.

Cons

It is difficult to move around as advancement is based on who you know rather than what you know.

Management moves around on a regular basis. The bad part about this is that you have to continuously sell yourself to several layers of management. This will be time-consuming and reduce the time you spend doing real work.

Advice to Management

There are too many levels of management. Reduce the number of layers in the IT organization.
