No Light At The End Of This Long Tunnel

Pros

They're still paying the electric bill.... so the lights and heat are still on. John Marcom is no longer the CEO so that should be updated. He was better than the current person.

Cons

Everything. The executive has no direction. I've seen and heard management talk badly about each other because it's cut throat and not real leaders. The current president is Rachelle Considine and she's awful as far as a leader goes. She might be good at Sales but NOT the rest of the business. We've been focused on 'digital' efforts for over a year with no deals in sight. print is dying and so is future. It's sad that people spend a majority of their time updating their resume and going to interviews. I can't help but wonder if the company really worked if they'd be somewhat successful.

Pros

There's a new president and she seems to care about the company, in contrast to the previous executive. (Thumbs down below is based on previous press, this site needs updating)

Cons

The company has contracted to a painfully small size, it's unclear how growth will be possible without changing location.

Pros

It USED to be a fun place to work. Friday bagels <-- isn't that sad this is considered a Pro?

Cons

Management (inexperienced). Lack of direction. Lack of leadership/focus.
