Pros
Talented, hardworking employees who genuinely care about their work Teams are generally supportive of one another despite leadership challenges The company has potential if leadership priorities were better aligned
Cons
The CEO appears more focused on external optics (board events, LinkedIn presence) than on employee experience or internal culture Difficult or unpopular decisions are often delivered through layers of leadership rather than being owned directly at the top Strong emphasis on EBITDA discipline for employees, while leadership spending decisions often lack transparency or clear ROI Disconnect between what leadership says is important and how resources are actually allocated Employees are asked to “do more with less” while seeing little reinvestment in people
