Leadership

Pros

On paper and in the all employee meetings - leadership sounds on track. The very top management may have some good strategic plans that they believe are being implemented.

Cons

Local leadership knows how to make top management believe their directives are being followed. When the heat is on, they look for someone to blame and/or fire. Owning up to their own responsibilities is random.

Lack of leadership, vision, training, opportunities for growth, pay, and unfair promotions. The ompany is also very short sighted in their goals, they constantly fire fight, and are fearful of change.
