Beside almost anything in AD can be added into ouU and group can't. Is there other difference between these two?

I try to rebuild my company's personal structure in AD, and there 5 levels: normal employee, supervisor, manager, VP, presidents. At first, my plan is to separate everyone into different groups and to apply rules on the different groups, but I find out that a group can't include another group. So, I try to use OU and OU seems to be working. Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between group and OU, beside you can put anything into OU but not into group. These two seems to be very alike.
