I was paid poorly, benefits and salary were cut across all employees, and opportunities for advancement were rare.
Pros
There is a great deal of job security. Epsilon's digital arm is filled with very bright and talented people. Epsilon has a good reputation in the Email/ IT industry as a market leader. There are many clients worldwide.
Cons
Epsilon is a company that suffers from poor leadership that trickles from the top down. Everyone is affected. Recent years have brought budget cuts despite high growth for the company. These budget cuts have resulted in pay cuts across the board. Even though it is a Marketing/IT company, the mood in Wakefield is very dull. On most floors of the building, there is dead silence. The job environment is tense and kind of awkward. There are very few company events/ gatherings, and people are relative strangers. There is a re-org every 4-5 months. Even though most lower positions are secure, it is volatile at the top. There is very little explanation when members of senior management are terminated, which is very unsettling for employees. Most people complain of lack of opportunity. There is absolutely no focus on career advancement - which makes people pretty miserable. Every few months, they talk about a career development program ... but in the few years that I've been there, there has been no instantiation of this. To sum this place up - think of the movie "Office Space."
