Pros

Many talented people in the ranks and middle-management. Very committed, long term employees in Operations. Company takes care of its own.

Cons

Crony-ism. Leaders that fail are not replaced. Poor decision making or slow decision making has been costly. Company is no longer able to make critical investments in facilities and technology. Low-morale and lack of confidence in the future of the company.

Pros

Large company, potential for growth.

Cons

They are a large company and sometimes close profitable divisions in a region due to conditions in other Regions. It is easy to become just a number because of the size of the company. Most SR management is from UK and business philosophies sometimes vary from US.
