Pros

Good corporate history. Up until a few years ago, Orica, had a wealth of good loyal people with substantial knowledge.

Cons

Narrow minded management joining the company from other organisations making decisions without knowledge of the business, consultation to the workforce, or understanding the downstream effects or true cost of their poor decisions. Employees are considered as a number, which can be easily replaced if required. This is a clear indication that management do not understand the true assets they have. No clear vision by EXCO with exceptionaly poor Communication to employees, customers, and industry.
