Pros

In my opinion, the culture within our department is very good. I work with lots of talented and dedicated individuals and my boss leads in a way that encourages growth and collaboration.

Cons

Leadership appears more reactive than calculated. Brandon, the company's president and owner's stepson, tends to lead with cliches and aphorisms rather than a concrete vision - or at least that is all that gets shared with the employee population.
