Vantaggi
Skills such as 'Problem Solving' and 'Effective Communication' are perhaps more effectively honed when faced with challenges. The multi-line of business complexity, limited job-specific training, and a 'do-it-yourself' approach to IT needs presents managers and their employees with opportunities for being resourceful. The culture benefits the self-led.
Svantaggi
- Not a routine precedence to promote from within. - Owned by a Private Equity firm that has addressed business capital needs at a measured pace. - Unstable leadership; recurring turn over at the top (Executive and Senior Leadership). 'Trickle Down Effect' of 'Tone at the Top' has impact across the organization. Changing the tone, while sometimes a vital necessity, can deflate morale, foster job uncertainty, and result in re-work (to suit new mgmt's needs/preferences).
