Business Outlook
Pros
Over 50 years they have built up a fairly good portfolio of work. Good people in the rail part of the business and a few others isolated in other areas.
Cons
Burns Group is run by two brothers; business evolved from father's practice. They still operate it like a mom & pop shop, showing severe favoritism to certain individuals. CEO is too believing in what his Mid-Level managers tell him. Does not see the big picture. Middle Managers have a hard time telling the truth. Middle Management are "yes" men, because they will be fired if they are not. Some Middle Management does not take responsibility for their own actions. Employees are pitted against each other.
