Pros

Ongoing restructuring provides opportunities for advancement, ownership remain supportive despite several years of poor results, 'LaunchPad' - crucial to the company's future - is now more stable

Cons

Ongoing restructuring creates a sense of insecurity, most important market (composition) has shrunk in recent years, company is suffering now because of earlier failure to develop coherent media strategy, salesforce morale is low after a series of bad years, many employees expect ownership to sell if poor results continue

Pros

Great executives and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Everyone loves what they do. Company is actively creating more programs that help provide more development opportunities for staff.

Cons

Ineffective middle management isn't addressed. Teams would function better and more work would be done if low performers and bad managers were addressed.
