Pros
People not part of the old-boys club are genuine. The support staff is under-appreciated but they do try to do their jobs. The Production Management had some real quality people, probably the best in the company can be found there. Without them, nothing would work-out. Engineering has a lot of gems outside of the senior-citizens. IT Department has a top-flight Tech guy.
Cons
Finger-pointing and blaming instead of accountability and responsibility. The take-over team of executives average 2-3 years per company they take-over. Fairly ruthless and don't mind abusing everyone else with obscene language and thinly-veiled threats. Being right and offering the best advice or recommendations does not make you an asset, they want yes-men and people whom are ready to write down their scripture. Going out of your way, and pulling off next-to-impossible tasks do not get recognized nor are you truly appreciated for your efforts. There are questionable acts performed by the take-over team, both in front of others and behind closed doors.
