Pros
New CEO seems focussed on giving the company a well needed "facelift!" Very focussed on strategic planning and improving the environment overall. Generous discount Financially stable
Cons
Very "flat" organization with a lot of tenure...that is people have been there 30-40 years and aren't leaving and there are only 3 levels of management and no levels in job titles i.e. Senior Developer or Developer I, II, III. No promotions are ever given because no one ever leaves the managment jobs. As a result most employees lack any drive because they know there is no hope for advancement or recognition. Change adverse organization, old technology, minimal formal processes, very reliant on vendors, minimal to no innovation-logos, stores and websites need facelifts. Marketing across stores should be a focus. But again, change is in the air!
