Pros

I've met some really good people here. I love my coworkers. Pay is pretty good.

Cons

Any mentions of change and innovation are merely lip service. Solutions to problems are short-term, shortsighted, reactive, band-aid solutions (in all levels and departments). One such example is a recent round of layoffs after losing a client. Those let go had nothing to do with said client, and the rest of us are left with fear and low morale. Budget cuts ensure that we'll be looking at half-painted walls and wires hanging from the ceiling at least until 2018 (and they've been in that state for 9 months already). Even before that, the office was a dingy, depressing environment. Employee culture is nonexistent. Poor communication on all levels. My manager in particular is someone whom I neither like nor trust. They are unreasonably strict on allegedly salaried employees, and HR can't/won't do anything about it. I cannot be honest with them or ask questions about their latest arbitrary change to my job functions. I have a feeling that this manager is setting my group up for failure, so that they have reason to fire us.

Pros

Executive Management is truly interested in its employees work experience and personal growth, and its parent company, Taylor Corporation, is a steady hand and source of continual investment when many companies in our industry are having a harder time with that. It makes for a successful combination. Although the company's focus is largely its legacy business of print & mail services, it is changing to more challenging and rewarding areas (for me at least) of information system analysis, data management and electronic delivery systems including mobile. My particular interest is system analysis and data management, and where our industry is headed with data-driven communication solutions is a big plus for me. That newer focus has also meant an influx of talent with deeper data and technology backgrounds.

Cons

The transformation from a legacy print & mail company to one that is more data and technology driven can be a challenging one for a company that can trace its print lineage back almost fifty years, and this company has those challenges at times. However, while such challenges are inescapable, they also provide an opportunity to champion what you believe in and assume leadership roles you might not otherwise take.
