Pros
Unconscionable loyalty to long-time employees.
Cons
Zero ability to manage toward goals hidden by a fluffy stream of "initiatives" without any attempt at follow-through (you'd think a golf-nut would know better!). Everything is merely to protect the illusion of success with customers and within internal cliques. Have bamboozled the ISO-9000 auditors for years and consequently have built a house of cards. The management structure has evolved into a haphazard amalgam of silos, with feudalistic mangers each protecting their "turf" at the expense of the whole. Directors exhibiting completely dysfunctional behavior are coddled and rewarded despite inflicting enormous damage on the institutions and individuals committed to proper governance. A battleground of megalomaniacs shouting, backstabbing, and working secret deals to the detriment of customers and employees alike. DON'T COME TO WORK HERE UNLESS YOU ARE INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY AND POSSESS THE INSTINCTS OF A PIT VIPER AND THE IMMUNITY OF AN IMMORTAL GOD - or you won't last with your optimism or your humanity intact..
