Pros
The culture. Our previous CEO Robert Dotson said that his experience from managing volunteer missionaries has really affected his leadership style, and it shows. After all, how do you motivate someone to do something if you can't fire them?
Cons
Unfortunately, more often than not, moving up the ranks and being recognized is more about who you know, rather than what you do. Also, rewards and recognition:participation should be voluntary, not compulsory. Also, if no one fits the bill, don't hand it out. When you hand recognition out on a monthly basis, it becomes lips service and musical chairs, and really feels like it's nothing special.
