Pros
Free time to prepare for other competitive exams
Cons
Company is in loss, still running. Some of the laziest, most lethargic and literally crippled people are promoted over talented people. Nitpicking, complaining over your back, etc are daily routines over here. Your manager would claim your hard work to be his own to appear hard working and at the same time tell the upper management that you were not working to your potential. Upper management takes deep curiosity in such cases and rewards the complaining manager all the time knowing the truth.
