Slowly going bad, I'd avoid this one for now

Pros

Plenty of time off, can find some great people working there sometimes, and the place is inclusive.

Cons

Repeated layoffs that disregard performance (and despite still making a lot of profit), remaining employees told to do their jobs as well as the ones who got fired, focused on reducing costs, obsessed with tracking employees' time, outsourced important things like our IT department who are allowed to refuse to fix things, very bad morale, no one talks good about our CEO & management team, and every other problem you'd expect from a company focused solely on profits. I honestly do not expect Cengage Group to last more than a few more years.

Pros

Offers remote positions, consultative selling approach

Cons

Onboarding and ongoing training is lack luster and very general, most work is very independent, management fails to offer support to employees.
