Challenging role with a STEEP learning curve.

Learning consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Flexible schedule -Good people -Benefits, 401k match, company car -You work essentially a "teacher's schedule" so you have Summers and holidays off.

Cons

Quite simply, there is just TOO MUCH for ONE person to do. The learning curve to this job takes a year, and it is tough. Lots of ups and downs. Dealing with rude professors in a thankless job is exhausting. I don't get paid enough to deal with the amount of stress I deal with on a daily basis.

Mixed experience, bad time to be in this industry.

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly supportive culture, mostly positive relationships with colleagues. For a learning consultant this is a mostly positive environment. Not cutthroat - you can make friends here.

Cons

Organizationally a disorganized mess. Lack of structured training. Cengage needs many institutional changes to make processes more streamlined and organized so employees do not get overwhelmed just trying to do their jobs and become overwhelmed with basic duties that should be more operationally smooth. The Sales division could really benefit from a consultant coming in to streamline processes and organize the chaos. Company wants to be supportive but in many ways falls short. Bad time to be in this industry as digital is the way to revenue in the future and our customers generally do not see the value in digital. eCommerce taking a huge hit to our business which makes hitting sales numbers very challenging. Lack of branding/cohesion in digital makes selling very difficult - recognition of competitor's products is greater, even if our product is superior the customer doesn't know about it.

Company trying to reinvent itself in a tough industry. Mildly succeeding.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent work/life balance, solid values, and great hardworking employees make Cengage what it is.

Cons

Compensation for entry-level and non-managment jobs leaves a great deal to be desired. The future is very uncertain for the higher education publishing industry and as much as Cengage wants to transition to a mainly digital/software company the industry and demand for these solutions in not on par with its ambitions.
