Business outlook
Pros
Immature processes due to holding co structure create opportunities for smart process-oriented professionals who have experience and drive; friendly and collaborative culture, well-developed ethics (called ICARE), stable and reputable--especially in the drug distribution business
Cons
Myopic management style, strict cost control philosophy limits effectiveness and cripples innovation, distributed authority across business units requires intricate negotiation across groups to get basic functional work done (HR, IT, etc), backward IT environment forces staff to use outdated operating systems, applications and web browsers (IE 6 is the corporate standard)
