Pros

It's always been like a huge (albeit now smaller) family. There's always been a strong culture of togetherness and socialising among 'shop floor' employees. New board must ensure that new reality of downsized company maintains that. Bath is a great city to be part of.

Cons

Like all media companies with a strong reliance on print, it's tough to keep revenues up in a declining market. Attempts to find a profitable alternative have foundered so far hence sales of some well-loved titles. There is new senior management in place which is yet to prove it has the answer, although one could apply that to most media companies in this digital world.

Pros

shiny looking website they spent an exuberant amount of money on

Cons

They exploit their employees ferociously. If you love yourself or your life - do not work for this company. Clients - don't sign up! They do programs and pretend it's custom. They spend hundreds of thousands to hire new shiny CEOs but pay their coaches around $40k/year to maintain 100 clients. You are not special - they just put up a lot of metrics to pretend to make you feel that way. No coach can actually connect with 100 clients and write a personalized program. That's why the "management" pushes coaches to use as many templates as they can. They do big lay offs of any coaches who don't want to maintain 100+ people. They also are actively working to use any/all Apple Watch data to sell and use in any way they can monetize. So DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR APPLE WATCH DATA. It's smoke and mirrors and not anything actually useful (especially for the pricepoint they are asking!)
