Pros

Editorial and marketing colleagues very responsive in supporting field staff. A wealth of new products continually being released mean there is always something new to present.

Cons

Management decisions made too quickly surrounding business strategy and human capital which creates a lack of trust, and frustration among loyal staff.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.
