Business Outlook

Pros

Good intentions and willingness to help employees.

Cons

Stuck in old way of thinking that consumers care about a "vertical running brand". Delusional thinking around the power of the run and its ability to move apparel. CEO surrounds himself with only those who agree with his out dated world view.
