Pros

This company has struggled since the appointment of the CEO. Stock has declined significantly. Not a ton of pros. All the uplifting strategic vision has proven to be non-sense.

Cons

Significant cons. CEO acts like an inexperienced leader afraid of hiring the right senior team. He has more comfort in status quo than making bold bets which is what the company needs. Example is leaving a nice legal person in charge of a critical function like HR. While she is good at legal, her complete lack of HR acumen is so apparent. He could easily hire a talented leader who could correct the significant org gaps, and coach his poor leadership, but he’s more comfortable doing nothing. And the results speak for themselves.
