Pros

Great memories and experiences over the years

Cons

Over the last 6-8 years line managers have been selected for who they know and not what they know. Consequently paralysis set in and morale nosedived, taking with it any chance of fostering quality culture/values let alone grow the company.

Pros

Global presence, reasonable compensation, standard perks (vehicle, laptop, phone), excellent benefits, potential resources.

Cons

Lack of leadership from senior management, limited communication among regional management team, poor strategic vision, questionable ethical decisions, reactionary response to market fluctuations (versus being an industry leader), loss of focus on the customer and their needs, unrealistic view of the market and the price it can bear, insufficient time and resources to accomplish goals within reasonable parameters, cursory support of safety and regulatory compliance, ponderously slow in moving forward on any front, and absurd rate of turnover within all levels of the organization.
