Pros

The company is in a very good position to continue strong profit growth in the US due to differential low feed stock prices compared to the rest of the world. Some plant level leadership support interpersonal skills growth and work life balance.

Cons

Senior leadership appears to believe that high performance cannot be achieved without creating fear at all levels of the organization. Creativity and appropriate financial risk taking are severely stifled as a result. High quality staff are also leaving and the company is struggling to hire replacements as it is perceived as a poor place to work by professionals outside the organization
