Business Outlook

Pros

Some great people on the ground wanting to do incredible things.

Cons

Toxic leadership and bully mentality. Just when you think it can't get worse, it does. Practice what you preach and take care of your employees and listen to them. They often know best because they are on the ground doing the work for the business, not in an ivory tower. Leadership is clueless most of the time.
