"The people are great. The owners really do care for you, but the top will not relinquish any power and is never there. There is no leadership from the top, as they are never there.

The management was always promising to change but never did under the guise of costs when it actually cost more to continue as it was."

"Spend more time at and with the business. Show leadership. Follow through on promises. Be aware of what was really happening."
