Pros

Difficult to get fired even if you are incompetent.

Cons

You will be mired down in endless meetings where a decision is never made only to have the CIO blindly throw money at companies that almost guarantee failure through their inability to execute.

Pros

There is none I can think of.

Cons

At the moment everything is broken in the company. If you join as consultant or IT employee, you will see what I mean. It is full of old fashioned manager. Company has no leadership. There is no leadership in the company, I feel sorry for investors

Pros

Strong company drive, performance driven. Good RCI process that focuses on change. Good financial performance. Strong supply chain tactics which blend manufacturing practices to the transportation of products to customers. Strong customer focus.

Cons

Outdated management practices focused on tactical thinking. Very little strategic focus from leadership, even during strategic meetings. No significant change management approach other than RCI. Senior leaders have been in the company to long that they are blinded to best practices at other companies more advanced. Leaders are also resistant to new approaches.
