Business outlook

Pros

There was great camaraderie amongst the main workers.

Cons

This company has highly dysfunctional leadership that does not know how to lead people or manage complex projects. There is very little planning and most people spend time putting fires out or on non-value add activities. It is not likely this company will be successful.
