Pros

This company has great product lines however the inability of the marketing department does not allow the investment and development of the product lines to be actualized. This company has many talented and dedicated employees above mid management and below the mid management levels.

Cons

The overwhelming obstacle to this company is poor and unprofessional mid management. Managers are not inspiring nor do they offer quality traits which should be found in leadership. The mid and upper management that has been in place for several years continually protect themselves and the long time "friends of managers".

Pros

Great people, Excellent HR Department, good building, good benefits

Cons

Morale has declined as a company over the years, largely due to layoffs. Management higher up could use some help, though I hear that's in the works. Was also underpaid

Pros

Not at this time. I think this board will grow now that severance has been revoked.

Cons

Due to another reorg my position was eliminated. I was given severance pay through July but that ended today when Cengage filed bankruptcy and no longer will honor employee severance agreements. Mike Hansen and Mr. Stone are finally showing how little they value employees.
