Pros

They do a solid job of delegating tasks within the correct business functions

Cons

While delegating to the correct groups/departments, they are terrible and monitoring when leadership are overworking the same team members repeatedly; Very little investigating into what is 'root cause' of issues and just band-aiding solutions
