A means to an end.
Pros: Good learning opportunities if you are willing to put in the work.  In other words, the learning opportunities tend to be inorganic .  The company makes the resources available to you, but you have to seek it out during your own time.
Cons: Eating hours was a serious problem for everyone.  This feedback was provided to partners at every opportunity (multiple times a year).  The end result would be that the partners would "recommunicate" the rules about eating hours.  This never worked.  For our clients, we would recommend "recommunicating policies and procedures" for very minor infractions.  If we saw something as serious as this at a client, we recommend a detailed multi-level plan (preventative and detective) to minimize the problem.  After all, it is causing employee DIS-satisfaction, thereby increasing employee turnover AND leading to millions of dollars in lost revenue.  But at the same time, it is probably retaining clients by reducing their bills.
