Pros

Decent base pay w/ good incentive compensation if you make your number. Great benefits package...sales reps get a car w/ maintenance and gas all paid for, along with medical, 401(k), etc. Very competitive textbook offerings in most disciplines.

Cons

Too many different technology offerings with no consistent brand. Financially unstable, which has lead to mass layoffs. Long and non-traditional hours, so lots of nights and weekends make it hard to get that work/life balance.

The company was one of the best in the industry and that has now changed! The management was at one time the best in the industry. There was pride, and respect that came with being a success at Cengage Learning.People make the company!

Cons

Too much change all at once now everyone is in fear of their future and the companies as well , The sharks a circling the tank.
