Pros

Lots of peer groups to help you improve your personal and job skills All job openings are posted and it is up to the individual whether to apply (i.e. your supervisor isn't involved).

Cons

Won't necessarily get career guidance or training via your supervisor. Coordination across departments often occurs based on who you know (sometimes a pro) rather than process
