Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities for training and personal development. Responsible and capable people will do well. Company invests in their employees development and success if you are a performer.

Cons

Business unit management is never aligned. Constant conflicting messages are given if you are a mid level manager, meaning too many priorities and grossly insufficient resources to meet the priorities.
