Pros
Alliance is on a roll! Year-on-year growth in the double digit range for multiple years requires a near term focus on results. As an S&P 500 company, ADS is in very rare company by combining growth and market size.
Cons
This sort of sustained growth precludes long term thinking in favor of near term fire fighting. This is not meant as a criticism, it is a a market necessity. The challenge is to integrate sustainable business thinking into the dynamic growth infused culture that is ADS.
