Pros

CFO is what holds the company together. Intelligent visionary with remarkable insight. Well funded. Great sponsors.

Cons

Unable to attract the very best and brightest in the race industry. Has had numerous people on the payroll who excelled elsewhere (drivers, crew chiefs, engineers, marketing, sponsor relations). Majority stockholder pouring money into a team that can't get beyond average. Championship synergy is simply not there. Person responsible for business development has cost the company a lot in lost opportunity due to bad decisions, nascar fines and lawsuits. Cost cutting in 2014 was significant to stem the red ink. Michael is just a figurehead cheerleader - no real substance. Toyota won't wait much longer.

Pros

Really good to work there, great group of people. Benefits were really good compared to other places.

Cons

Most upper management had no clue, kept throwing money at things which caused the downfall. No accountability on some departments while holding down others. Too many chiefs trying to run the show. With no one in charge or there to run the day to day the direction was lost. Michael was good to talk with when there with issues, RK not so much, a very self-centered person that hardly smiles while looking down on anyone that doesn't fit his class of persona.
