Pros

Get to work from home and great benefits

Cons

Where do I start? Several years ago, my mother worked for TR in NYC. She was there for several years and then abruptly fired for "incompetency. " She had two undiagnosed mini strokes and the beginning of Parkinson's. Did they not notice a sudden decline in her mental facilities and consider something might be wrong? Of course not. Then I had to fight with HR to get her cobra paperwork. Despite this, I interviewed in Eagan and was hired. What a bad move on my part. In 5 years I've had FIVE bosses. Constant restructuring. Constant technological issues. Even though we are all adults, we must log our time - even if it's a 30 second conversation with a coworker. Feels like under constant lock and key. In 20+ years in the workforce, never ever have I and my fellow coworkers had such bad morale. Such a shame. I'd quit if I didn't currently need health benefits. Hoping to get out soon!

Thomson Reuters Response

We appreciate the feedback and recognize that we have gone through a tremendous amount of change at TR. The world is changing faster than ever before, and Thomson Reuters needs to ensure that we change in order to meet the need of our customers. One of those changes, in particular, has been that we have gone through a process to significantly delayer/reduce the amount of middle management in the organization to empower employees to better serve our customers and move faster. The new TR is a much more dynamic, fast-moving organization. We are also spending tens of millions of dollars to upgrade the technology throughout our organization. From everything from purchasing new computers for all employees, to improving the infrastructure that we all use on a daily basis. We are making fundamental changes to improve our employees' experience and are committed to that throughout 2020 and beyond.

Good pay, good managers, and minimal micromanagement

Pros

Plenty of wonderful benefits and the most competitive parental leave I have found in the US job market

Cons

Depending on the organization you work within, you could be working for leadership that expects sales reps to smooth over and fix every single mistake that is made. A lot of these mistakes are because they haven't yet recovered from acquiring new companies and they haven't absorbed CRMs and data correctly. There are many different teams to work with to get the simplest projects done. It feels like the companies values are really in place because they expect the employees to take responsibility for their lack of systems in place supporting them.
