Pros

Great brands with established market demand and distribution.

Cons

Business doesn't understand how to move from vision to action. Inexperienced leadership company wide. Questionable integrity across key positions where people say one thing, but do another. High turnover of key positions (4 key positions resigned in 4 months, as an example).

There are lots of things to do and opportunities to explore

Cons

However decision making is chaotic and projects get approved and cancelled soon after on a whim.
