      Pros

      Company car & benefits compare favorably with other companies of the same size

      Cons

      Depending on the region, culture is toxic. Reps are afraid for their jobs, territories are constantly being tweaked, and disciplines are routinely vetted in case it becomes more profitable to represent them from the inside sales channel. Decisions take a long time so meanwhile those disciplines in a holding pattern are stuck with little to no marketing or editorial support. Reps are responsible to sell those products nonetheless. Key decisions about company longevity vs. bit by bit sell-off keeps everyone on tenterhooks.

      Pros

      Awesome manager who cared about our team and made sure we were doing well in our environment. He made sure we only did what was required of us, as many departments tried to send us work that didn't have anything to do with our job

      Cons

      Outsourced IT jobs to India.

      Great for recent grads, but little room for advancement

      Pros

      I love the people I work with at Cengage. My team's culture is warm, welcoming and encouraging. Each coworker strikes the perfect balance between personal and professional. They are the reason I come in to work every day.

      Cons

      I started at Cengage right out of college. I moved from an assistant position to a content developer position within a year, but now I don't see opportunities for advancement for at least another few years. If the content developer salary was competitive, I would be less concerned about this, but Cengage's editorial salaries are ridiculously low. As Boston's cost of living rises each year, my coworkers and I find it hard to make ends meet. What makes this even more difficult is the fact that programmers and other tech-related employees make twice as much as editorial employees.
