Pros

This company does offer salaries and benefits.

Cons

The sales leadership is extremely unskilled and incompetent. Instead of support and guidance, you will be met with micromanagement and toxic behavior at every click. The online learning software sold by this company is in such a state of disrepair that it is virtually unusable. It actually hinders learning and creates a ton of stress for all its users, particularly the professors. A significant amount of your time will be spent pleading with departments to not ditch the product. There are product specialists in place to offer support for this crumbling technology but most of them are disengaged and unresponsive. Actually, most of them are incompetent and lacking experience all around. In short, this company is a sinking ship. The outdated technology, poor management, and disengaged support team create a toxic work environment. Save yourself a lot of unnecessary stress and steer clear of this place.

Pros

-Remote Work and good benefits. -Pay is alright but slightly below average.

Cons

-Most customers that do not care about anything other than price of materials to students and will actively avoid using texts or courseware from a publisher. Most opt for free materials. -Upper management changed sales goals and strategies almost yearly and seemed to be just copying whatever McGraw-Hill and Pearson were doing, constantly playing catchup. -The entire sales team was given a 30% year over year sales goal, regardless of previous performance, for several years. (I assume to cover their over-investment into their learning software no school wants)
