Pros

TR has quite generous vacation time off and also good health care benefits. The people that you work with are generally very nice and it is a quiet and low-stress work environment for the most part.

Cons

I found that the work itself was quite mundane and not challenging or fulfilling. I had a degree in finance and business management when I joined this company out of college. Looking back I realized that it was probably a poor choice because my daily job duites turned out to be completely irrelevant from my education in finance, and I was really no more than a glorified data entry person.

Pros

Thomson West has had a reputation for loyalty to its employees and a company with career growth opportunities. They have invested in their IT growth and are poised to be a competitive option for software developer talent. The employees are pleasant and seem to enjoy working there. There is somewhat of a family feel there, maybe that's because Thomson West has a lot of married couples working there. There seemed to have been generations of families that have come through the Eagan office. I thinks that is a holdover from the early days it was West Publishing. Thomson has made its campus employee-friendly by providing services such as dry cleaning, etc.

Cons

Thomson tends to have thick layers of management. The top and the bottom do not interact. Very clubby. If you are senior management you will appreciate the front line gatekeeper managers. The company is top heavy and invests heavily in its senior management. This is not a very democratic company. On the face of it, to employees, the company presents a culture of inclusion but I found it to be very one sided. Talent does not necessarily serve you well here but being political and building the correct allegiances will be very beneficial.
