Pros
Leadership knew the business and the models, they were presented a number of ways to make money, they have enough people to execute and make the company successful and profitable.
Kontras
Got in their own way, hired people who did not know the industry or have educated insight and intuition leading those that did. Highly political environment meant good ideas were quieted, in favor of ideas that were often not even in the same industry or previously failed models. Dual standards for employee treatment all over.
