New Leadership Needed

Pros

Very little pros- unless you came from career builder you have zero chance for promotions or growth opportunities.

Cons

You have to belong in the inner circle of leadership. People are promoted without truly having the experience, skills or aptitude but continue to advance because of who they know.
