Pros

Finally listening to our consumers, crazy right? But glad it is happening. Hardest part is getting leadership to consumer groups because they don't believe what we report back

Cons

Culture is terrible, everyone is up or out, MBAs are the ones not smart enough to go into growing industry, 60 hour work weeks
