Vantaggi
Very flexible and great people (fringe benefits and regular benefits have seriously been deteriorating over the years)
Svantaggi
First things first - private equity really drove this company into a downward spiral as most folks know. They put way too much debt onto the company, taking a highly profitable company and turning it backwards (leadership all had to focus on paying back the debt for so long that they didn't focus on making the company keep growing). Beyond that general statement this review is specifically for Gale - Gale was a wonderful company for many years - truly standing by its mission to help educate and lift up the community it served. It was a great place to work. But leadership lost focus and it's very hard for folks at Gale to take the hard lines that need to be taking (cutting the fat -takes years to do this); putting the right people in leadership roles (one gentleman has a very high position and has a terrible track record and is derogatory toward everyone especially women yet keeps getting promoted); debt forces too many short-term decisions instead of looking 5 years down the road.
