      Pros

      Diversity of people in staff positions. Flexibility in work schedules. Exciting energy environment as a power producer. The opportunity for change is still present.

      Cons

      There are silo of information pockets within the organization. Managment blind spots regarding the diversity and the true intergrity of people as well as those who are actually completing the tasks. Lack of diversity in management and supervisory roles. Lack of clear developmental or rotation plans for all employees.
