Pros

Absolutely nothing.

If you know the right people, you can cruise your way through without doing anything.

Cons

Office politics. The recruiter will lie to get you hired, but you are on your own after that. They won't honor promises.

HR is really, really bad. It really is all about who you know; it feels like a fraternity.

Very PR-focused.

Advice to Management

Spend more on employees and less on PR
