      Poor regional leadership

      Pros

      A good learning environment as you are very much thrown in at the deep end.

      Cons

      Poor leadership. A lot of change currently going on, and although there is a clear sense of direction at a global CEO level, this is very poorly filtered down and staff are none the wiser as to what is happenning. The divide between the upper hierarchy and middle management are increasing and the flow of information is very mucha need to know basis. This means that long term planning is difficult, and many meetings are held where people dont really know what is being talked about as there has been no previous follow through. I would not

      Good company, enjoyed my time there

      Pros

      Overall, there is a relaxed and fun attitude. The company hosts great summer and Christmas parties. There is a really good mix of people and generally, they're all great. My experience of the management was positive 90% of the time. The work load varied depending on experience, as you would expect, and upon who your clients were and book release schedules, event schedules etc. There was great benefits, especially for mothers returning to work from having a baby, although i'm not sure if that is still the case. Great working hours (9-5 with an hour for lunch), free bus to take you to and from town, 25 days holiday rising with service and paid sickness leave.

      Cons

      As with any office politics could get in the way - in hindsight, my manager at the time wasn't as bad as I thought, a little dramatic but supportive, patient and understanding. There wasn't much room for progression with in teams as staff retention is really good - but I believe this is something that has improved, creating new roles, and through promotions. The pay wasn't good enough for the department that I was in, as there was pressure to deliver - could potentially have looked at targets and bonuses (no bonus structure at all).

      Pros

      Macmillan features some really good health benefits, a great 401k program, and they publish some good books occasionally.

      Cons

      I work with an extremely small team that is under-resourced and has unrealistic sales goals. The office itself is also in pretty poor condition, and the company is pretty stingy with regards to salary increases and bonuses.
