Business Outlook
Pros
Some very good and smart people who really cared about doing their jobs well. Lots of in office happy hours with booze. Company sold its assets to Blackstone.
Cons
Leadership was working on shadow deals. Starts and stops to many projects resulted in significant loss of money and time. GLP outsourced major accounting functions early in 2019. Soon after the outsourcing, the assets were sold to Blackstone. All the secrecy on these behind door deals resulted in not including the right people at the right time even though many could have helped. Moral was low as groups of people were let go over the year. Some departments worked absurd hours with no relief. Not a well balanced and thoughtful organization.
