Pros

- Prior to acquisitions (OI, LC), autonomy to run operations as your own business. - Upper management had operational backgrounds - Engineering is a strength throughout group - Good financial controls / metrics - Good career growth opportunities

Cons

- Culture changed with Private Equity divestiture, acquisitions - Company lost entrepreneurial feel- in efforts to standardize best practices across the network, plants became corporate drones at the mercy of corporate politics. - Relentless drive to continuously improve while aggressively cutting costs and headcount (all good things in theory) required perfection in execution and eventually became unsustainable.
