Pros

To much to say about this innovative company full of new ideas! Multiple learning opportunities! As their massive layoffs have led to the trickle down effects of voluntarily resignations due to excessive workloads you get to learn everyone else's job in addition to your own, making you feel like a true team player helping the company save Money paying your salary only, while you do the work of five others, cutting costs by five salaries! Company sponsored tourism; opportunities to travel to other countries like India to train your replacement, a great, cost-effective way to learn about other cultures! Company sponsored leisure time, plenty of time to scroll job ads due to multiple system issues preventing work being done while you have 45 minute hold times with the newly outsourced IT department that knows nothing but how to put in a ticket since they don't know our systems. Innovative ideas by upper management hired within six months such as eliminate all positions, make people reapply and IF after 20 years of working with Emblem they are a potential candidate, interview and rehire but require travel into NYC, which is a great perk for the disabled employees who work at home and have such heavy workloads they can't take time off for surgery, they have no time for physical therapy, this opportunity for excessive commuting provides the physical challenges of PT without the ridiculously high co-pay! Weight loss! Get that bikini body with minimal effort since your workload does not allow time for eating, who needs P90x when you can just get a job at Emblem??? Time management skills, Emblem cares about its employees so much that it added on an extra hour of work time daily to help get ahead of your case load! Higher level of esteem and feeling of self worth doing volunteer work because that extra hour in addition to hours worked on days off, are all considered volunteer work! Why take the time to volunteer to help a charity when you can help this corporation instead? Tax savings, by eliminating well earned bonuses and raises it's less taxes you need to deal with when it's time to file.

Cons

This company is beyond the point of bleeding it's employees dry. There is no blood left, it's better to compare it to a law and order episode that is exhuming a body after 20 years hoping on a strand of DNA. Shame on this company for what they have done to so many talented, valuable, loyal employees.

Pros

They are being investigated by the US Dept of Labor. Trade Act. Outsourcing to India. Heard about this directly out of the mouth of the department of labor at manadatory unemployment appointment. This will give the thousands of laid off employees hope for their future. If Emblem is found guilty it will mean extended unemployment benefits in NYS and free training/education for American workers!

Cons

Senior management is still there draining all the money for their own salaries ACP is also losing tons of money each month.

Pros

Decent Benefit package and compensation. Ok to work here as a last resort until finding a better opportunity.

Cons

Company is run by a Washington DC lobbyist who has the Company running out of India after massive outsourcing. Horrid balance sheet the company consistently losing 100+M a year. Credit rating is consistently dropping and can't be trusted. Top heavy senior management 'click' stuffing their pockets at expense of employees they consistently lay off.
