      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good retirement benefits, though it diminished recently, Some work from home is being allowed in certain areas.

      Cons

      Nepotism is running rampart in IT. Jobs are no longer secure, most open positions go to people from Dow Jones, Long time Guardian employees are being let go to make room for additional IT staff from Dow Jones. Successes, reputation and devotion to Guardian no longer count. Plans are being formulated to out source whole departments. Rumors of a pending blood bath are everywhere.

      Senior Management changes have changed culture and integrity of company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pension plan has kept some longer tenured ee's at company. Ee's genuinely care about doing the right thing.

      Cons

      Many changes have occurred over last 5 years leading to a very top down organizational structure lacking transparency. As a result of a move to centralize basically all functions, service has suffered. Pricing which has always been difficult, has become untenable, leading to watered down benefit and service offerings. Many new product offerings with no real direction in any one.
