Cons – If you work for a service division, your ability to grow your career is limited.
Moving out of a service division can be difficult.
Workforce optimization often promotes people into management/supervisory positions who aren't aware of the talents of the team, and if layoffs are involved this often leads to valuable team members getting laid off.
Advice to Senior Management – Be very careful about evaluating talent. Talk to members of a team to see what team members are truly valuable and which team members are just taking up space.
