I BELIEVE FOR THE EMPLOYER SIDE IT IS GETTING THE LONG TERM COMMITMENT FROM AN EMPLOYEE AND THE COST SAVING ASSOCIATED WITH RECRUITING OF A NEW EMPLOYEE  EVERY YEAR OR TWO IN ADDITION TO SAVING ON TRAINING OF THIS NEW EMPLOYEE.DISADVANTAGES  ARE LOW PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS FOR SUCH CANDIDATES.

FROM THE SIDE OF THE EMPLOYEE IT IS JOB SECURITY,CONSTANT PAY CHECK,EXPERIENCE.DISADVANTAGE WILL BE THE FEELING OF BEING TRAPPED.
