EBSCO Industries Reviews

Pros

Great company with good atmosphere!

Cons

No Cons about this company.

Pros

Everyone is friendly and you have the opportunity to work remotely

Cons

Most people applying will be interested in the copyediting side of the job, but that has very little to do with those role. Most of it is production and doing some light coding and plugging things into html. To be fair, they make this clear in the interview process but without knowledge of what the production process is like, it's basically impossible to know what you're getting into. Just do not expect to spend any more than 20% of your time doing copyediting. It's 80% production. The systems are all outdated and incredibly frustrating to use. There isn't good communication across teams about expectations and resolving issues. No one seems particularly passionate about their work there. While everyone is friendly, there isn't much of a team atmosphere.

Pros

Work from home, good insurance, profit sharing, bonuses

Cons

Maybe not as competitive salary wise

Pros

Flexible hours with helpful employees and a surprisingly caring Corporate. The jobs I've trained in are simple and fairly easy. The training was effective and very clear and I was ready to handle the job on my own comfortably with two weeks.

Cons

The jobs I've worked are simple. Labeling, Stamping, and Cleaning books as well as Picking online orders. But over time it can become quite repetitive.

Cons

Lay-offs and stress was difficult.

Pros

Well run company that tries to met employees needs.

Cons

Reduced time in office due to covid.

Pros

Cons

Salaries could better match inflation

Pros

- The people are fantastic! - Management, including Senior and C-Level, tend to come from within, and know the industry and its demands. Management is diverse, and tends to come from aptitude and applicable skills, rather than nepotism, from what I've seen. - Established name in the industry with strong products. - Marketing was efficient, effective, and a fun place to be. Very little, if any, drama. - Management is very communicative, open, inclusive, and transparent. Regular communications from top levels, giving a top-down status on important stuff. - If you're good at sales, you can make some good money.

Cons

- For AE's, commissions can come in waves, and sometimes not at all. Save instead of splurge. - As AE's tend to be an entry level position, it tends to be a good test for whether or not someone is cut out for sales. They *do* watch your sales numbers, and will sample calls to go over strategies with you, if you aren't doing well. But those who may not do well come and go, or get shuffled around, so keeping some names with sales areas straight can be hard. - Departments that don't commonly interact with yours seem a million miles away, despite being in the same building. - Very large, international company with multiple offices around the globe, so there are a lot of people to know, depending on your job.
