Business Outlook
Pros
Great products; respected, well-known name; financially stable; some wonderful employees. This is a company that has some very useful products and a strong demand. Lawyers get great benefit from using Westlaw and the books West publishes.
Cons
No professional growth or opportunity for advancement, average pay, and incompetent management, especially those in the small law firm segment. The new pay structure does not encourage over achievement. With a larger base salary and smaller commissions, sales reps are not motivated to do much more than necessary.
