Pros

Fosters innovation with a focus on patenting, research, and development.

Highly profitable.

Focuses on employee education for the betterment of the company.

Cons

So profit-driven that it can't compete with Amazon, which rewards employees and channels all cash flow back into the business, driving the stock and attracting talent.

Advice to Management

Stop the bloodletting of employee elimination.

Employees spend more time hiding and ducking from RAs than they do looking for ways to improve products and delight customers.
