Pros

Work life balance is ideal. Colleagues (most) are super friendly and most of the senior management cares about your well-being. They just don't reflect that in compensation

Cons

No room to grow unless your manager truly cares and advocates for you

Thank you for your feedback, I'm disappointed to hear about your less than ideal experiences with career advancement. I see you are a current employee, and I believe it is our dedicated employees that sets us apart. I do hope that as Wiley's performance management and learning development teams continue transforming internal mobility, that it reflects toward your career goals. We appreciate your feedback and want all our employees to be seen and heard so we understand where we can improve.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
