Pros

The company is a survivor and makes smart and courageous business decisions. IT leadership is undergoing a transformation; focusing on performance and results by identifying and aggressively attacking top priorities & business opportunities.

Cons

Retail is a tough cyclical business and these are the "bad times" (now in 2008); so there is some degree of uncertainty about the future. Fortunately I have faith we will pull through it without "cutting into the meat" and emerge as a stronger competitor.
