Pros

People are nice and have a passion for education and the industry. Benefits are good although they have slowly been reduced as a result of new leadership and management.

Cons

Employees are not treated well by senior leadership and there is an expectation that extra hours should be put in to complete projects. Constant lay-offs mean people are doing 2-3 people's jobs. These change make employees nervous and uncertain about the future. Long-time employees who are experts in the industry are voluntarily leaving due to lack of trust in leadership. There are rumours that the CEO ultimately will sell Nelson once he brings it out of debt. Despite financial challenges, the company continues to invest dollars in questionable areas (ie. purchased an apparel company, acquired McGraw in Canada, new branding, sponsorships). Many employees are left wondering what the vision is.

Pros

Can't really think of any convincing pros... Summer hours perhaps, if you are into that. Scarborough if you you live there. Otherwise, stay away!

Cons

The company went recently through an insolvency process and we all know what that means: don't expect investments in people, processes or technology. Instead, layoffs and cost cuttings are the norm and the company seems oblivious to what that means to its long term survival.
