Pros

Some colleagues who are working their hardest trying to save a business

Cons

Short term mentality of the business leaders means that the Pet Care business will not succeed as there is no vision or investment for the future. The savage cost and head cutting has lead to the loss of some very experienced middle managers who knew how to run this business. While the GM's departure was non regretted its too little too late. The shared resources at Manchester means no resources and none with the intelligence to understand Pet Care. HR is a function to support the company's maverick ways not to support employees.
