Pros

Nice time off policy. Work life balance can be good if you have a good manager

Cons

Really bad health insurance, way too much red tape. Directors and above are a bunch of yes men playing office politics from ivory towers. 1-3% raises are the norm, the attitude seems to be that you should feel great full to have a job. Constant threat of outsourcing to India.

Pros

Ability to work from home. Exposure to latest technology.

Cons

Absolutely ZERO loyalty to its employees. You can break your back for this company, work many overtime hours, and act as their slave, and you WILL be kicked to the curb at the drop of a hat! If they can outsource your job, which is highly likely in IT, you will never feel comfortable and secure while working at Thomson. Individual contributions above and beyond the job are NOT recognized. You are simply a number! Raises are non-existent, and forget about bonuses. TR is constantly shifting more of the employee costs to the employees. You will be paying more and more for your benefits each year. If you like high stress situations, no recognition for your efforts, constant reorganizations, and the fear of losing your job on a weekly basis, then Thomson is for you. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague! I have been there close to twenty years and have seen this company take a nose dive. Top management doesn't have a clue when it comes to human resource management! Totally oblivious to what goes on beneath them, and couldn't care less. I cannot even recall how many different people I have worked for. Constant management changes completely disrupts and destroys the working environment. Remote managers may never even meet you, but they can somehow accurately report on your performance. Remote managers always favor employees that are local to them, and shaft everyone else. The climate at this company is counterproductive, demoralizing, and totally depressing! If you still wish to work here, gain the knowledge that you are looking for and jump ship before they sink you! You've been warned....

Pros

Benefits day one. Deluxe campus.

Cons

Inside sales is terrible, no training. It's turn and burn with the employees, don't even bond with anyone they are here today gone tomorrow. Every month 5-6 employees are walked out new hire tags are up within days. Manager micro manages you stops by your desk 2-3 times a day what do you have, forget it if you need help..schedule time with me then they don't show up. wasted time on your calendar. They don't treat their customers good, sales rep sells, then the account manager follows up with training etc..the account managers are so over worked they cant get to everyone. They are there to upsell and not help. The last week of the month is blacked out, no time off. The job dictates your time off.Territories aren't fair but quota is the same, who makes these numbers? No quota relief if you have government account during furlows. The quotos are written to go up every month December being the highest , why? to get rid of people. They don't care about you. Marketing and sales don't communicate. Workspace is an ergonomics nightmare, we have paper reems under computers and on the floor for our feet. Computer systems are a joke, so slow..Employees are packed in like sardines. No where go to but out the door. This is a dead end burn out job!!!
