Pros

Early on the company was positive cooperative environment. Pleasure to work with the clients. Pay was competitive and the benefits and PTO were generous. Great location on Harbour Island. Decent severance package

Cons

Poor management Non existent people management Severe favortism and nepotism from management Gossipy and clicky co workers No integrity from upper management Egotistical and arrogant management Little to no respect for people not in management positions No growth opportunities unless you are friends and ave alliances with the right people When I started the position many years ago the company was a much better place to work. As time passed and the office became more and more Elsevier the atmosphere, and vibe of the office changed for the worse. Job titles changed and so did managers for our department. My team and I were lied to repeatedly about our job security until they eventually laid off our group.

Pros

A place with rich amount of information and resources to learn and study on if you have time to understand the company itself. Besides that, the position I had, have work-life balance and a potential of exploration into several touches within departments and offices around the globe. - Work life balance - Ongoing internal and external courses - Fun environment - Lovely colleagues from all departments

Cons

The management did not fulfill their promises for keeping people and make them grow. If you are looking for a career advancement, it might not be a good place. Management prefers people who can talk their way out but does not really do their job. - Directions of the company is ever changing with uncleared movements - Low pay increments - Hardly any career advancements (although they are promoting it)

Pros

Good pay, although that will decrease with a new commission structure; great benefits. Office space is clean. Kitchen area available.

Cons

Horrible work culture; top management not present and engaged. High staff turnover. Senior management is constantly rearranging interdepartmental staff assignments, so processes and contacts are always in a state of flux.
