Pros
There are a lot of moving parts. If you get immersed in the business process, within 3-5 years, you will become a Subject Matter Expert in your field. It runs by chaos theory, though not by design. So if you deal well with chaotic situations, you can come off looking like a hero because not many people can hold on to their nerves.
Cons
- Crooked work ethics from Senior Executives with the CEO massaging his ego by having hanger ons at inflated salaries that contribute nothing to the bottom line. - Large egos on the Executive team, particularly in the Sales department related to Logistics. - Lack of voice for Operations, which is actually very competent. - IT has a leadership comprising 100% of non-technical people. - Finance has very hard working people but they have a lack of vision. - Overall, there is an inherent lack of trust and everyone works to cover their behinds rather than doing the right thing. Blame games are rampant.
