      Dysfunctional

      Pros

      Leadership team is passionate about what they do and I believe they truly do care about the employees. Executive team goes above and beyond to communicate and be available for people. Benefit package and Pay are above avg.

      Cons

      Management team has some key VP-level people in the wrong positions. Too often problems are blamed on teams, when the reality is that management is the problem. Quotes of "We need to communicate more" or "people need to work harder" are heard too often and are symptomatic of a group without a plan.

      Roller coaster experience

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      New products coming out that seem promising and innovative. Research is thoroughly conducted at the user-level for these products. There is good content (texts in print/digital) as part of the company's current portfolio.

      Cons

      Knee-jerk reactions and implementation of programs and initiatives that have mixed messages and confusing directives with poor return,rather than well-thought out truly strategic initiatives. Significant turnover in the sales organization that negatively impacts the longer sales cycle. Disconnect with executive management and those executing on the front lines. Inconsistent advancement, not necessarily performance-based, more on who you know. Over the past couple of years there have been significant technology issues. Recently the company has begun to outsource jobs overseas (accounting, IT), there is uncertainty as to what's next.

      Pros

      Company in deep financial trouble.

      Cons

      Run by total arrogance and incompetence from top to bottom. Rude and uninformed. Could not care less about customer or employees.
