Kontras
-work / life balance is a challenge - many groups inadequately staffed -focus on six sigma is not clear - especially for some functions (IT, finance) -rewards for good performance are extremely inconsistent -company has lots of people who have never worked anywhere else - while this is a very positive sign, need more benchmarking for best practices - company had not made adequate investments in IT systems, etc., which will limit growth over the coming 20 years + -advancement in compensation is not competitive, when comparing to people who join the company after a few years of experience
