Business Outlook

Pros

supportive, gives respect to employees, sometimes dynamic, good place to work, variety of work and good attitude to developing experience

Cons

Very American although the UK fights against this, ultimately it loses. Very slow to grasp opportunity and capture fast moving business, very slow turnover of senior management who spend most of their time managing their managers.
