Business outlook
Pros
Was a global collective of small to mid sized, independent companies each with great Products, People, Services and loyal customers. These distinct but similar lines of businesses were merged into a single organization with excellent benefits.
Cons
The centralized, global management team attempted to reduce operating costs by consolidation and standardization of of processes and systems across subsidiaries without fully understanding the magic and spark that made each line of business fun and profitable. The true visionaries quit in frustration. The remaining employees just accepted the new dullness, and hoped to avoid the next round of cuts.
