Pros

New CEO bringing in senior leadership staff that know what a modern company needs to do to be successful. CEO avails himself to anyone as his time permits and he seems to genuinely care about the rank and file employees. The company is moving in the right direction from an operations and quality standpoint.

Cons

Old Guard "Command and Control" type of management style still pervades the company below the surface. Career opportunities are non-existent. Pigeon holes are commonplace management tools.
