Pros

None to list at this time

Cons

HOS used nothing but military commands/wordings for general communications leading to many misunderstandings with day to day operations. HOS pulled employees out of building to build cases on employees they would list only personal issues against. When MGCB visited, employees were discouraged from disclosing factual information including general operational faults.
