Svantaggi
Senior and upper management not visible enough to the rank and file. Exposure is prepared video clips and press releases. General fear by management of controversy from addressing groups.

Lack of encouragement to have employees show initiative.
High debt impacting cash flow and stock prices for a very viable and stable industry.
