      How many number 1 priorities can you have?

      Pros

      Decent benefit package. Limited resources combined with multiple priorities create a challenging environment that you can really stand out and apart from the rest, if you meet your objective.

      Cons

      Constant changes and conflicts in focus and priorities make it difficult to finish anything. Extremely weak foundation to build an environment of continuous improvement. Sustaining improvements is not valued, only new change.
