Pros

Limited resources provided give employees the opportunity to be creative in getting results. Many kind, dedicated and outstanding people working for the company.

Cons

Leadership preaches bias towards action and that employees should not be afraid to make mistakes or try different approaches but the people that do those things do not last long. Goals are not clearly stated to front line and/or managers. the culture is "flavor of the month" with little consideration for the impact on employees and very poor change management. Employees who once felt valued, now feel like a number. The merger of three groups resulted in the weakest of the three having the biggest seat at the table- seems counter intuitive. Gender inequality in leadership positions. company frequently recognizes individuals who's main accomplishment is taking credit for the work of others or self promotion. It is embarrassing and makes loyal, hard working people who do things right lose faith in the company.
