Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly diverse opportunities for promotion and growth. Strong support structure in terms of operations, transportation, HR teams. Opportunities to work with incredibly talented bright people who bring diversity in terms of experience, background, and education. This translates into incredible experiences working with various teams, but opportunities to build friendships that will stay with you throughout life.

Cons

Senior leadership can be very arrogant and condescending regarding new ideas or challenges to current operational and leadership structures. This applies to talent/potential as well. Leadership (myself included) were inclined to believe their assessments of leadership potential were flawless. The reality as that we make tons of mistakes in assessing talent, acknowledging mistakes and supporting individuals will always lead to a stronger organization.
