Pros

There are some very talented people working at Ellison, mostly in the creative departments. There used to be a very warm, friendly environment.

Cons

The new CEO comes from the European office and with his team of yes-women has changed the roles, titles and pay of all the employees, not in a favorable direction. The new "Global Leadership Team", which consequently only consists of members in the European office, added more duties, demoted titles with the intention of paying the US employees less. And should the employee not want to take on more for less money, the job was relegated to a team-member in Wales they could pay less. They've changed the layout to an open space floor plan, so that their moles can report back to their Global Leader. It's noisy, unprofessional and sounds like a boiler room when customers are calling into any department. Every employee, aside from the European team, has been moved out of offices to accommodate their growing egos. It's unfortunate that a legacy, women led, family-owned company is being turned into a bland, cookie cutter craft company. Their new business plan is a boring as their color palette.

Pros

Office provides tap water and functional sewage system. Provides barely enough pay until you can find better opportunities.

Cons

Only work here if you're desperate for employment. They will only give raises when you put in your 2 week notice, or when minimum wage is set to increase due to government mandate but they will mask it as a raise. Training a replacement is a hassle for them due to already high turnover rate so they'll try to increase wages as a desperate attempt to retain talent. Constant layoffs, treat your full time position as temp employment and continue looking for the next job. Hiring managers have been asked by interviewees about the negative reviews on here so many times that they started fabricating positive reviews. Any positive reviews are from upper management trying to drown out negative reviews as they have been struggling to hire decent talent due to string of negative reviews since 2018. They have stopped when they realized its too much work to create new emails and accounts.
