Pros

When all is said and done It was a Job that paid the bills. Benefits were not bad.

Cons

Very stressful, No pay raise for several years, poor communication, more criticism than praise for work done. After 27 years of giving so much more than 100% of my dedication and loyalty to this company, retirement parting token was an e-mail thanking me for my 27 years of service. Not even a card!!! WOW!! Think twice before dedicating too much of your time and life to Cision. There is no reward......you are just an underpaid and under appreciated employee!

Pros

Decent work life balance, some good teammates who care about each other and the company makes payroll on time (for most people)

Cons

The executives can’t stand each other and can’t make decisions, so the rest of us were left running in circles. Revenue has declined every year and it keeps getting worse. We had at least 4 layoffs a year and they never communicate them — one day your coworkers just don’t show up. Everyone is constantly looking over their shoulder. The best people have already left because they see the writing on the wall. The products aren’t good and aren’t getting better. They keep talking about Nexus but no one knows what it means or who even wants it. Numbers change depending on who’s presenting them and why. There’s no consistent story on targets internally, which makes it impossible to plan or prioritize anything. PE ownership and puppets in the C Suite meant that every decision gets filtered through “what does this look like for the exit” rather than what’s actually good for the business or the people in it. Compensation hasn’t kept up, especially after layoffs when your workload doubles and nothing changes in your paycheck. No real investment in development either. Bottom line: you’re a headcount, not a person. And they manage by spreadsheet not logic.
