If you're not in sales...
Pros: They allow junior employees to take on responsibility and get hands on experience.  In other words, you work hard and credit is given to you.  You may be the most junior in the team but you still get to face clients immediately when you're in front office.  You're not just assisting the head of the team.
Cons: Politics.  Wonder what senior management have in mind and whether they truly understand what is happening on the ground.  The 'team' culture is not that strong either.  It is good to be self motivated but most of the time, its better to work together with your team mates instead of trying to outshine everyone else.  The event or client etc is more important than trying to show off to others or claim credit.
