Business Outlook
Pros
Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the economic prosperity of the region. LAEDC has clout within the public and private sectors it serves. People who work there are proud of what they do. Although it is technically a non-profit, it has a business orientation and is able to make things happen. It blends the best of feel-good orientation with bottom-line productivity.
Cons
For professionals working in the field it can be difficult to keep connected to HQ in downtown. Also, dual reporting line between head office and regional partners can lead to conflicting mandates. Leadership and resources are not always quickly available to off-site staff when needed.
