Pros

Dedicated employees doing their best under difficult circumstances.

Cons

There is a significant lack of consistent strategic direction from senior leadership. Priorities change frequently and often without clear rationale, forcing teams to abandon work midstream to chase the latest initiative. This creates inefficiency, confusion, and burnout across departments. Executive leadership appears misaligned, with visible tension and internal power dynamics that negatively impact decision-making. Instead of unified direction, teams experience shifting mandates and inconsistent expectations. The culture at the top drives instability throughout the organization. Goals move constantly, accountability is unclear, and employees at all levels are left trying to execute in an environment that feels reactive rather than planned. Morale suffers because long-term planning is difficult when strategic priorities are repeatedly reset. The pace is intense, but not always productive due to lack of focus and clarity.
