Cons
Middle Management (Directors and Senior Managers) is typically hired externally with the candidates making unrealistic promises. Typically, they grab a difficult project and commit to unrealistic deadlines, then death march the employees through these missed deadlines and finally are let go for failure to meet goals, having alienated their subordinates. I have been under three separate senior managers who followed this pattern and have seen countless others outside of my command chain.
