Big Changes

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The company seems to be making an attempt to respond to the marketplace and its competitors, even if they are attempting economies of scale that may not pan out.

Cons

There is a large break with the past. Recent layoffs have been kind of like Logan's Run, in that many longstanding employees are being cut instead of retrained. This has reduced institutional memory and created a young workforce that is going to be having a baby boom in 2025 as they all reach their mid-thirties. They are heavily relying on outsourcing almost all activities now, including sending copy editing to India. The cost savings is significant, but the product suffers.

Too Much Change Too Fast

Pros

A company with history going back to Poe. Salary and Benefits in general are good, but a moving in a negative direction.

Cons

The changes that are happening currently are moving too fast. It seems that a company that has lasted over 175 years is relying on consultants to make dramatic changes to the Core of what the company represented. There is no longer any care or interest in how the changes affect staff. No longer is there a look to see if existing staff can be retrained for new positions, out with the old in with the new is the new mantra. When the old leave the new are lost on who to contact for anything, relying on the remaining few to point them in the right direction. One more email about staff leaving and we will be checking for more redundancy across the globe. No idea why there has not been any article in any financial columns about the thousands that have been cut.

Pros

work-balance, good hours, good discount

Cons

Senior management are only have "what have you done for me lately approach". There is not much room for advancement and compensation is on the lower end of the scale. Systems are antiquated and not user friendly. Divisions/functions don't always know each other strength, lots of duplication of work that lends to conflicting results.
