Pros
The company continues to make strides in changing the perception of the culture. The new CEO not only promotes Integrity, Mutual Respect and Passion, but seems very genuine in living it daily. Leadership has learned that employees have varying needs that must be met in order to be more successful in their role, contribute to the overall success of the company, and view the company as a positive workplace. Whether it's an attractive bonus structure for financially driven employees, or a flexible schedule for those driven by a better work-life balance, new initiatives are being implemented to meet specific needs and ensure that good employees are retained, and good talent is attracted.
Cons
The changes being made to improve the perception of the culture is a work in progress that is going to take time. Some long time employees and leaders find it difficult to accept and allow some of the new changes, which has lead to frustration of employees in their areas who feel they may not have the same access to the improved opportunities. Additionally, some of the new initiatives and changes are not clearly defined or understood, which can cause confusion and conflict.
