Business Outlook
Pros
They are generous with vacation time. You receive 3 weeks of vacation at the end of two years of work. you also get an additional three days of personal time and two weeks of sick time. There is also an opportunity to volunteer two days out of the year.
Cons
Elsevier currently does not provide much job security. They are cutting jobs and sending them overseas. They also try to save money by not allowing managers to fill open positions and instead have the existing employees fill the gaps. There is not much opportunity for upward mobility, it is common for employees to be stuck in the same position for many years.
