Thank you for your review. We take our goals and ideas seriously at Elsevier because we know they are critical to our organization’s success. Also, we always make employees feel they have a stake in the success of our organization and that speaking up and addressing concerns is a collective responsibility. If you feel bigger goals and ideas lack a clear road-map for you and some others in your team, business unit or location, we suggest that you discuss this with your manager directly and help to see how best to change things.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
