Pros

Culture is probably the biggest Pro in my mind. The people here are genuinely passionate about League players and a player first mentality drives nearly all of our initiatives. In addition, senior leaders strongly believe in empowering teams to own their own successes. It's very common to have disagreements where the owner of a team decides to take things in a different direction than what is suggested to them by their boss.

Cons

Waste Waste Waste. There's gobs of money floating around being wasted. The attitude is def not "Spend like it's my own money" despite leadership trying to hammer that concept in. There's a limit to how much we should default to trust and instead, employ a trust but verify policy. It's time to clean up our spending and act like a mature company. Spend money where it's needed and be unafraid of that, but tighten up on waste!
