Pros

- Good benefits and working hours (9-4:30); they are also very flexible and understanding regarding work from home and family care time - Generally speaking, everyone is very professional, competent and hardworking. I found it very inspiring and motivating. - They just moved to a new office in Yonge/Eglington, brand new and very nice - The Canadian office is mid-size but Wiley US is quite big, with the head office in NYC – you might get a chance to go there for training/meetings

Cons

- Everyone, especially the people working in editorial and production, is overworked. Seriously overworked. - In addition to being overworked, employees are also underpaid. - The company is going through tough times (also due to the more general situation of the publishing industry) and restructuring, so it is quite unstable - All of the three points above really affect employees’ morale, which is generally quite low. People are demotivated and feel underappreciated - There aren’t many growth opportunities for young people, who for the most part end up leaving.
