Nelson Reviews

Pros

Great subsidized lunch area Edwin is working on many interesting things for the future of education You might meet or or two people in a building of 300 that you can bond with Free Parking Large facility

Cons

This place sells you on how they are growing as a company and why its great to work there. At first you take the bait, but as the days go by you understand and catch on very quickly with how the company runs. Within my first month working here 8 people were let go, and you find out through a constant email sent out by the HR department. It is not a place to grow, and people get used to their roles within the company and have no desire to change their routines. Outdated to say the least.

Pros

Hard to say, my experience has been miserable.

Cons

Damaging environment for mental health, old school mentality, cut throat culture, huge turnover

Pros

-great legacy and potential -some truly excellent work being done and to be done -good benefits, as of now -free parking, subsidized cafeteria

Cons

-territorial, petty culture -lack of vision in senior leadership -difficulty in breaking through old ways of thinking e.g., textbook and scarcity mindsets -old girls club

Pros

Technology that is being developed and future outlook is great. The CEO is truly a visionary and has some amazing ideas. Edwin is unique and watching it unfold is exciting. Publishing is changing and it is good to have someone at the helm who is pivoting. Post secondary team is great! The resources meet student and professor needs very well. Good benefits!

Cons

Little room for growth or movement up. It is also a rotating door of staff so more time is spent getting people trained and up to date than developing the staff that still exists. Sadly they lose MANY great staff as it is seemingly a culture that would rather fire and hire than grow their team. If you’re in the technology side, post secondary or the creative publishing side, things are much better, but the bread and butter of the company is sales. The sales and marketing staff must be treated better! Every creative idea is shunned; no one is willing to tell the CEO that his upper management team treats their lower staff poorly (though I believe this is not intentional) so it creates a culture that is unproductive, constant turnover, no creativity. The culture is one where upper management spend more time in meetings, emails, making knee jerk decisions and send out you-musts to the team than planning and developing or listening. This company has so much potential but if you do not develop and listen, you will never progress and everyone is too scared of the CEO to tell him honestly as he will start yelling profanities. i just shake my head and keep going but I would love to be treated as an equal not have to bow my head the higher up’s.

Pros

Between co workers and upper management, all are amazing to work with. Nelson operates and runs all facets of their company with pride, integrity and ownership of the values important to the field of education.

Cons

There are no negatives I can share at this time in my experience with Nelson.

Pros

Great workplace because of the intelligent coworkers.

Cons

Too much work in too little time is the default culture.
