Pros
Open communications where Associates can ask the Pres of the company any question they need answered about the company. Others in the room have an opportunity to take action to make positive change on the question or suggestion. Drive to accomplish tasks. When one division/department needs support, others provide support to drive out delays and rework. Opportunity for each Associate to define their career path. If your limited by growth advancement in one area, thee are other areas you can look into. Associates can set personal goals to obtain knowledge and skills as well as goals impacting ROI. Plans and Communities are beautiful and our Associates take great pride in driving the continued improvement in the designs and execution. We are not perfect, but I honestly believe that Associates come to work to find ways to improve processes and make their jobs more rewarding. They also smile and kid around with one another.
Cons
Opportunities to improve relationships with Regional offices via Corporate roles. This challenge exists in many companies and we need to do a better job bringing all remote teams in as equals.
