Pros

There was a time when it would have been easy to list off a ton of positives. That as they say is now history.

Cons

They have lost their way, to many chiefs, WAY to many and not enough indians. The culture is one of creating a lean environment which should be applauded, but in their efforts to be lean they have created so many single points of failure that the whole thing is a house of cards that is one retirement, death or transfer away from collapsing.
