Pros
Technology that is being developed and future outlook is great. The CEO is truly a visionary and has some amazing ideas. Edwin is unique and watching it unfold is exciting. Publishing is changing and it is good to have someone at the helm who is pivoting. Post secondary team is great! The resources meet student and professor needs very well. Good benefits!
Cons
Little room for growth or movement up. It is also a rotating door of staff so more time is spent getting people trained and up to date than developing the staff that still exists. Sadly they lose MANY great staff as it is seemingly a culture that would rather fire and hire than grow their team. If you’re in the technology side, post secondary or the creative publishing side, things are much better, but the bread and butter of the company is sales. The sales and marketing staff must be treated better! Every creative idea is shunned; no one is willing to tell the CEO that his upper management team treats their lower staff poorly (though I believe this is not intentional) so it creates a culture that is unproductive, constant turnover, no creativity. The culture is one where upper management spend more time in meetings, emails, making knee jerk decisions and send out you-musts to the team than planning and developing or listening. This company has so much potential but if you do not develop and listen, you will never progress and everyone is too scared of the CEO to tell him honestly as he will start yelling profanities. i just shake my head and keep going but I would love to be treated as an equal not have to bow my head the higher up’s.
