Vantaggi
The brand portfolio is strong and the product is solid. There's definitely potential for each brand to experience success and realistic growth if allowed to stay true to what it does best. Worked with many good people - true leaders in various aspects of the industry. The people are the company's greatest asset. The workplace environment is casual and comfortable and decently flexible.
Svantaggi
Unjustified, unconditional loyalty to unqualified, unproven upper management perpetually lets misguided priorities get in the way of what is best for each brand's success. Saw too many good, talented people forced out (whether removed or left for other opportunities) as a result of specific people's inabilities to work with them, or even simply a personal disliking. Overly connected ownership/working relationship with the manufacturer and unrealistic sales objectives as a result (without the resources to support) actually act as impediments for the brands' to achieve and maintain natural position and growth in the marketplace.
