Not the best for jr level folks

Pros

Work-life balance Stimulating work/colleagues Generally positive work culture Benefits Remote/hybrid work

Cons

Pay is too low, particularly for jr-level folks, and raises/promotions mean little to nothing Volatility/lay-offs/shifting organizational structure Over-emphasis on AI Editorial content suffers due to all of the above Makes a lot of claims about DEI but makes no effort to change hiring/promotion/retention practices

More Good than Bad

Pros

Overall culture is what keeps a lot of people here; immediate work colleagues are great & collaborative, and become like friends in addition to colleagues; actual work field-based sales folks do is rewarding, challenging, and provides a lot of variety; lots of travel required during peak selling seasons of fall & spring semesters, but the slower pace of summers & holidays offer a lot of rest to recharge for the sprints during the semesters; investment into AI tools seems to be outpacing the industry competitors and has promise to improve the workflow of many sales folks

Cons

Below-market pay compared to other competitors or industries; declining industry trends as the enrollment cliff of college-aged students is coming; slower compared to competitors when bringing new products to market; declining culture over the last few years due to departure of many long-time Macmillan people
