Pros
I can't think of any pros.
Cons
Senior management is unclear about expectations, and any direction given to next line of management is lost in translation. There is little empowerment for employees to manage their business responsibilities; micromanagement is very common. The company was not ready to take on the large private brands acquisition, and within months of the CEO saying they were not going to try to consolidate, the layoffs and closures began. The employees from the private brands side worked hard to integrate the business, only to receive pink slips for their efforts.
