Pros

The issue isn't the CEO. It's entitlement. Given my relatively short tenure, what I have noticed are co-workers who've been around forever that can't adjust to change, don't want to adjust to change and blame everything on executive management. It's not that they aren't respected because they are. We value their knowledge but you don't have to get in our face with it. Most haven't worked anywhere else so they have no idea what it's really like to be a part of a poorly run organization. Most feel entitled; entitled to make senior level business decisions, entitled to short term and long term incentive plans, entitled to complain, entitled to a job. There is a thing called "performance". No one is entitled to a job, you have to perform. And oh by the way, most days at 4:59 or sooner the office looks like a ghost town! We have a lot of freedoms that most take for granted. We have a lot of information that comes our way. You have options folks, the company isn't going to stop on a dime because you think without you it won't succeed. So you think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I suggest you go check it out. You just might be humbled. Thank you Mr. Oles for all you are doing, all you have brought to the organization, for introducing change that has been a long time coming. Keep sharing, I'm on board and despite what you hear most are on board as well.

Cons

No organization is perfect, nor will one ever be. Communications can always improve. It will be nice when our work space has been updated.

Pros

We and I have talked to others are disappointed in the announcement yesterday of David’s successor. He had his chance with AgVantis a while back and walked away because he did not get his way and in the process recruited other AgVantis employees to leave and join him and was successful in one case. This says a lot about his character and integrity. And he said yesterday how important accountability is with him. He showed none. And then he is hired back and in this critical position. Shame on the board of directors for not thinking about the possible negativeness that could come with this selection.

Cons

To this day there are still some who truly believe they are still entitled to things.
