Pros

Good relationship with the Publisher, some very good technical backup, good reviewer database

Cons

Elsevier is a juggernaut and they try to make all journals fit the same format. They outsource support to India. They launched a new online publishing platform before it was ready for use, many problems.

Pros

Large organization with decent benefits.

Cons

I worked at Elsevier for 4 years and had four different managers. Every year and sometimes every six months there were changes and reorgs. No real sense of loyalty to employees. The bottom line is all that matters.

Flexible working hours, enjoy most of my colleagues very much

Cons

The annual raises are really terrible and it's incredibly hard to progress in your career when you start out young there.
