Pros

ESL has great Core Values (Accountability, Integrity, Initiative, Teamwork, and Caring About People). I find that most employees truly take these values to heart and such there is great teamwork, ownership of issues even if it wasn't your mistake etc...

Cons

Senior Leadership doesn't always demonstrate these Core Values. Sometimes it feels like they care more about their image or the image of the organization. Accountability is about having frank and difficult conversation so that the organization can improve.
