Business outlook
Pros
The company is filled with many great people (though fewer by the day...), and benefits from its iconic brands. There is a desire to improve future prospects.
Cons
Long history of poor high-level financial expectation management that precedes and encompasses current administration. As a result, the company's ability to maintain a stable path toward growth is frequently challenged. After several years under current ownership, the best explanation of the board's objectives is "cut costs". There is no shared vision or defined path to the future. This company easily has 3-5 years of rough sailing ahead (fiscal 2017 through 2020, at least).
