Pros

Good products good managed care coverage. Some good managers, but let most of them go

Cons

Many down sizes, changed the numbers to make them look how they wanted or even changed goals midstream. Numbers were never accurate. Evaluations were based on crap numbers. Did not keep apples with apples, and compared people who did not promote the same things.
