Pros

money; some departments function most do not; infighting and silo-ing

Cons

Current and Long-held practices of dysfunctional departments: -Sexist to female employees -Male majority; masochistic -Bogus Performance Appraisals -HR disaster: Underemployed staff (too educated for their roles) Overemployed staff (under educated, under trained staff) -Poor succession planning -Poorly mismatched skills of employees to employment positions -Toxic Work Culture -Company that is a consistent under performer (little to no profit) - $ 750 million dollars of Canadian taxpayer money is wasted every year; with little to show for it -Promote under skilled people to management/ influential roles resulting in gross incompetence and mismanagement -Little to no mentorship of new staff -Little to no acknowledgement of staff doing jobs -If staff do something well, they will not get credit for it -Colleagues steal others' ideas and claim them as their own -plagiarism -Micromanagement- little trust of staff who are capable of doing their jobs -Exclusion and alienation of the intelligencia of the company (communist management - style) -Vision+ (company "culture shift") program brought in to flip current culture is a hoax with little management support -American management has no vested interest to the stakeholders. -Lebanon ammonium nitrate explosion is a reminder of why a country should never let dangerous material into the hands of cowboys. At CNL there are plenty.
