Terrible company

Pros

This company was good to work for when it was ECM, but has turned really awful under Adams Publishing Group. While co-workers are great, the morale is down a ton since APG came in and started pulling benefits, firing folks and making cuts all over the place. People who can get out are getting out. Pay is low and the cost of insurance - the don't get sick plans they offer - is increasing. They took away our 401K match in early 2017. Middle managers are great. Top management is horrible.

Cons

Company doesn't care about employees. Poor pay, benefits being cut.
