Pros

Our new CEO Phil is a total rock star. He is down to earth, well spoken (even to the common folk) and CARES a ton about the company and the people.

Cons

IT does not have a CIO so the top two contenders are shoving and pushing their way to become CIO. Both of them act juvenile, and could care less about the employee's and more about their own personal gains and future.
