Pros

- If you're in the club, you've got it made. - If you make it to VP it's a great place, they deliver zero impact but get rewarded big.

Cons

- You have no voice, do as your told. - DEI is in full force. Ineffective leaders hold their roles purely because of diversity. - Not an actual results oriented organization, they just claim to be.
