Pros

Good benefits. Management is too busy padding their own salaries that they don't notice much else. Some great people are still sticking it out in the Toronto office.

Cons

Extremely low pay for position and experience. Long hours and incredibly high expectations. Senior management in the Fan Expo division that micromanages everything you do with no clear and concise direction. No idea what to do when they acquire a good company. No on-boarding process or change management. Senior management in the Fan Expo division will lie directly to your face and conveniently not remember conversations that have been had.

Pros

Decent benefits, nice co-workers, some international travel, and modern offices. I loved having unlimited sick time but never abused it.

Cons

This is thoroughly a British company. All key leadership is in the U.K., and they rarely visit American offices. This company is notoriously cheap and cost cutting always wins the day. All U.S. offices are simple satellites to the U.K. corporate offices. Let’s be real, if you are a U.S. employee, don’t expect to be paid well, don’t expect a decent raise, don’t expect development nor advancement, and do not expect the C-suite or division leaders to listen nor care. You are a cog in a machine which is designed to facilitate the offering of low quality information products and services to the U.S. market as a way to soak up as much public and private dollars as possible.
