RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at EBSCO full-time (More than a year)
Pros
You will be hard pressed to find a company that does more for their employees on a regular basis to insure their success and well being, encouraging team work and personal growth consistently.
Cons
Not really a negative thing, but some employees have been in the same work environment for many, many years - thus change does not come easily and skepticism naturally catches a ride. This shouldn't affect new progress, just slow it a little in taking place - but overall a reasonable trade off for loyalty.
Advice to Management
Keep up your interest and communications in a visible way, everyone appreciates it.

Pros
The insurance is amazing & the majority of the upper management are nice caring people.
Cons
high overturn because no drug testing & management turns a blind eye to employees who cause issues or to employees who consistently don't work.
Advice to Management
Show appreciation to the team members who make the company successful & get rid of the people who don't do their jobs or put in the effort others do.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at EBSCO full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
The benefits package is hard to beat and includes paid maternity leave. It's a stable company with a good profit-sharing program in place of a traditional 401K.
Cons
I work for a subsidiary that changes direction too frequently and can't seem to keep a steady, long-term team. Because the company is so sales-focused, it seems to lose sight of how other activities long morale-boosting and effective public relations contribute to the bottom line.
Advice to Management
Don't forget about the little people who work hard every day to keep the place running.

Pros
I had a good experience overall. I worked for a small office in upstate NY that was owned by Ebsco. They offered great benefits, a 401K, and regular raises each year.
Cons
I did not feel that I had many opportunities for moving up in my department because we were such a small office and most of the new employees were hired in another state where the company was based out of.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at EBSCO full-time
Pros
The people I work with are wonderful. The view of the headquarters is wonderful and access to a cafe is wonderful.
Cons
Senior CORPIT leadership cannot make a decision and usually when they do, it is incorrect. Hostile work environment from corp it management makes it a less desirable place to work.
Advice to Management
Consider removing the CIO. He is toxic to the environment. His ego is so big, he cannot accept any constructive criticism. He does not listen and does not value the employees under him. He has either forced or removed (Reduction in Force) great and extremely productive employees while protecting his good ol' boy friends. He spends too much money and then used the employees to be the scapegoat. This company could be great if they just put the correct leadership in place. The CEO enables this behavior.
