Pros
It is a source of income that also provides certain benefits.
Cons
Leadership at the executive level lacks depth in marketing experience. The CMO appears to have been appointed due to family ties rather than a demonstrated record of building and leading high-performing marketing teams.
There is a strong emphasis on optics, internal politics, and maintaining favor within a small inner circle. Decision-making is centralized and often lacks transparency, which limits collaboration and discourages open dialogue.
Strategic direction can shift without clear data-driven rationale, leading to inefficiencies and repeated rework. Accountability is inconsistent, and constructive feedback does not always result in meaningful change.
Turnover within the marketing department is high, which affects continuity, morale, and long-term execution. The overall environment makes it difficult to build momentum, retain strong talent, and consistently deliver measurable results.
