Pros

They do truely walk the talk when it comes to work-life balance. The work atmosphere in the entire company is very respectful of your personal life. It is a fun and congenial place to work. Specifically for women, there is a lot of support and policies to ensure that they dont miss out on their career just because of personal needs.

Cons

Technology - wise, they are behind the times. Especially within some organizations within the thomson reuters umbrella, it is very difficult to improve ones technical skills. management is slow to recognize the need for change, and even when they do change, are quick to fall back on old habits in the face of challenging situations.

Pros

The people are great. I've never worked in a sales environment that was so positive and my teammates are all really helpful. It's not your typical cut-throat sales model where the person sitting next to you is trying to take your deals. Instead they are willing to offer up assistance which is extremely helpful (especially for new hires). A healthy work/life balance is strongly encouraged by management which has lead to good morale and people at all levels are treated with fairness and respect. It today’s shaky economy, it's definitely a good place to work and one I would recommend to others.

Cons

The company is getting so large so quickly that some of the basic core values are sometimes overlooked. Merging all the smaller companies together has been extremely bumpy for employees and ever more so for customers. For example, the customer service department is seriously understaffed which makes things difficult for everyone; especially customers. The internal communication from Senior Management is decent but the inter-departmental communication definitely needs some improvement. There are times when a simple task takes on a higher degree of difficulty simply because the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. It's a known issue that's the company is working very hard to remedy.

Pros

Thomson offers good environment for a sales professional with proper balance of compensation, work load and personal life. Management are approachable and competent but as with all companies of this size politics do exist but not to the level that it is the focus of the company culture. Opportunities for advancement are good and the turnover in sales is relatively low. Overall a positive sales environment.

Cons

They are not a technology company but are trying to leverage it in their businesses and do not always have the technical expertise to deliver a sound technical product which can lead to customer satisfaction issues.
