Pros

- Excellent support from your Leadership Team, Managers, & LC's - Outstanding online training program & in person training on campus - Dedicated mission & vision to serving our customers with the best products - Wonderful benefits and fun atmosphere that come with this career - Offers consistent support to our customers This is by far the absolute best company I've ever had the privilege in working for. Cengage Learning has a tremendous amount of resources for you to be successful and offers all the support you need in setting you up for a great career. I'm thankful for the leadership I have in this team and I'm looking forward to establishing relationships with our awesome customers.

Cons

The only cons I can truly think of at this time with this career at Cengage Learning is the following: - Industry constantly changing & customers change - Wear many different hats with the career - If you're newer to the industry, the first year can take some time in making it your territory your own With all this said, I understand that change can be difficult and frustrating at times; however, I welcome change! Cengage Learning is constantly striving to improve and is always innovating. It simply makes you stronger professionally in this industry and motivates you to keep up with the updates. In addition, I love wearing different hats in this career because it's molding me to be a dynamic individual. This first year will be challenging, but you get out what you put in. You must be organized, open to change, patient, and genuine to be successful in this industry!

Pros

The individuals below the management level are good people, with some good people at management but C-Suite is horrible.

Cons

C-Suite hides their plans under corporate speak. Cengage was a family owned private company and they sold and ever since then has had, debt, schemes to shuffle and restructure debt while implementing RIFs after RIFs after RIFs...never ending and amazingly has been in increased this last year. From their actions it's outsource as much as you can of company operations and squeeze value from Intellectual Property. Look how many times they've renamed themselves. They had a CTO join for about a month or two until she realized it was a role with no team, no authority and left. The CEO is amazing at spin, you hear "great, great, great" corporate speak as the reality on the ground is "this failed, that failed..what!? they're gone!...what they moved that department offshore!...what!? that department is now a vendor relationship...oh we're not DEI focused because the wind changed". The trend is contraction not expansion, no ground breaking innovation. My jaded view from college on expensive books has only grew since I see how the sausage is made.
