Hire McKinsey to come in and clean things up before it's all lost. A total wipeout of leadership is what's required.
Pros
If I had to pick a "pro" it would be that the scenery in every direction from the office is really beautiful.
Cons
The CEO is incompetent and ineffective and is surviving because he has weak direct reports who are scared of him. He invested a bunch of Goldman Sachs dollars into a printing press. Really? It's 2019! The digital business is a cute idea but PFL doesn't have the leadership chops to be competitive nor the expertise. Industries have many options and PFL won't be able to compete. Just look at the logo and branding alone; it's sophomoric and embarrassing. The management has zero experience outside of PFL which is a real problem if they plan to scale. Leadership is almost entirely comprised of people who started working at PFL after they graduated from the local university and have been promoted up the chain because there is no competition - not because they are valuable and have the knowledge base to make the organization better. Additionally, under the current CEO only those who can't get another job will stay. The good news for competent PFL employees: the job market in Bozeman is only going to get better.
