Pros

Used to a fun and engaging place to work and company goals and vision were clear

Cons

For a company who is an alleged proponent of anti-bullying, there are several upper management members who scream, yell, threaten, and intimidate their direct reports and others--which creates a "junior high" culture There are very few promotions or growth opportunities Most managers have no managerial training or are not qualified to be managers Favoritism and nepotism are prevalent in that pets and relatives are generally the ones who get promotions Culture is ageist in that people under 35 get the promotions-especially in IT and Marketing Staff is incredibly lean due to cuts and layoffs No vision or strategy on where company is going

Pros

You've got a Pantone guide and over priced dog tags! Good work Jostens marketing. Way to come out with products that matter to nobody.

Cons

If customers want to know why their prices keep going up - ask Jostens legal. They love to sue anyone to intimate and bully. This leadership team is the worst in the history of this company for allowing the practice of suing their former people just because they want to leave and start something new. Rubbermaid should be ashamed for keeping this leadership team in tact. Jostens is an embarrassment. Outdated products, has-been-good-ol-boy-management and a sales force that is too scared to stand up against the management.

Pros

The location is local to Twin Cities.

Cons

Management is hired based on family ties and not professional skills. Executive team consists of mainly 50-60 year old white men hoping to stick it out until retirement for their payout. Leadership has no understanding or connection with their employees or their customers.
