Talk?  Why would we need to do that?
Pros: Pay
Program that allowed employees to take 2-4 weeks off in the summer 2009 for 1/3 pay
My old team mates who actually worked with me even though we were discouraged from doing so.
Cons: No communication with manager.  
Only one goal - billable hours.  Customer satisfaction?  Doesn't matter, you are penalized for spending time on this effort.  Get in, bill, get out.  And travel time?  You'd need to do this on personal time if you really wanted to meet you billing goals.
