"Education Brands, Ministry Brands, andCommunity Brands--BYE BYE! "
Pros
-Complimentary obfuscation and gas lighting about your job responsibilities v. compensation. -Adrenaline pumping action; will your branch office be open or closed next Monday morning!? Will there be another crippling round of layoffs? Will they sunset the entirety of your brand's software with little to no analysis? WHO KNOWS! It's so very exciting to wait and find out. -MORE work, LESS resources. A winning combination to be sure. -15 or more minutes of the Self-Aggrandizing CEO talk about himself during All-Company meetings as a prelude to telling you the company won't back-fill lost resources, pay reasonable salary, fix thieving benefits packages, or broken maternity leave policies. Just kidding there aren't any pros to working for this company. Make sure you read the reviews on both Ministry and Education Brands glassdoor sites to give you a more comprehensive picture of this disaster rather than this sterilized re-branded space.
Cons
Seriously though, people who once loved their jobs at smaller companies pre-Community Brands-acquisition now live in a constant state of dread. We're down to the last of kind; or entirely devoid of many resources (Data Base Architects, .NET developers, Reports Developers, UX/UI, Project Managers, Support Agents, Business Analysts, Implementation Specialists...) being told to make do with nothing. Warned not to complain; not to ask for better pay lest they too get the axe.
