Pros
Hard working staff who want to get things done
Cons
As someone who manages a team that depends on help from the Marketing Department, I am here to confirm what has been said by others is true. A year ago, we could get something done quickly and effectively. Now, many of our projects are completely ignored which has resulted in a loss of income to my business unit and the company as a whole. The new CMO has his own agenda and seems primarily concerned with making himself look good. He isn't terribly concerned with helping partners make their goals, which I thought was their job. They have lost a lot of good people, many with years of history, over the past 9 months. That has also hindered the team's ability to move forward with critically important membership and revenue generating projects. The marketing team seems unhappy, but can't say out loud what is so obvious to others: it's just not working.
