Pros

Everyone at the company is friendly. The work is pretty consistent and can be challenging at times. They have 12 weeks of Maternity/Paternity leave along with decent PTO/Sick time. Average 401k match and other benefits. Many positions are work from home, which I love. Flexibility in schedule is great depending on the time of year.

Cons

The PTO is not the best compared to some other companies. You start with 3 weeks and then have to be there a long time before you start getting more. They should look at increasing PTO in relation to time at the company. They career growth isn't always clear. I wish there was an easier way to see the career paths you can pursue. No bonuses for employees. Bonuses are for Director an up.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I am pleased to hear that you are satisfied with many of the benefits we provide including parental leave, 401K match, and remote work. We are continuously evaluating our benefit offerings, including paid time off. As you noted, in 2021 we increased our starting vacation from 2 to 3 weeks per year. In addition, we added a Juneteenth holiday and added several wellness days off, including an entire week off at the end of 2021. Overall, Cengage Group leads the market in the time off category when you look at the whole time off package which includes 11 holidays, 2 floating holidays, sick time, wellness days and more. We recognize time off is a highly valued benefit that supports work/life balance and are actively monitoring the marketplace to ensure we stay at or above market. I appreciate your feedback. Best, Michelle Bonomini, VP Total Rewards & HR Operations
