Pros

Previous US leadership was lean, bold, and forward thinking. The focus was on success and who could get things done.

Cons

New US leadership is incompetent and incapable of executing to metrics. Failed GM was promoted to VP and truly lives up to the cliche, "highest level of incompetence ". A glitch prone system is installed by poorly trained contractors and executes about as you would expect. Throw in a bunch of good ole boys, and yehaw we got ourselves one steaming pile. The system was already hopelessly destined for fiscal catastrophe because the enormous cap cost combined with the grotesque inventory wastage is an insurmountable barrier to success. No one should be surprised their main customer is hesitant about new sites.

Pros

Good pay. Good work/life balance. Good co-workers. Opportunities for ambitious individuals to acquire a preferred portfolio of responsibilities.

Cons

Leadership tends to micromanage. Everyone in the US is new including the leaders, and it shows. The silo effect is extreme. The standard approach from leadership is to focus only on your specific task. There is not a lot of cross stream assistance and it's actually discouraged by leadership. Causes the overall projects to suffer tremendously.
