      Solid company for corporate career builder

      Manager, product development

      Pros

      It's the largest international education company, with very large resources. Smartly managed, environmentally and fiscally responsible, and with respectable top management. The company makes very good investments and usually produces high-quality products.

      Cons

      Not a creative atmosphere. If you are not into corporate environment and corporate career building, you are not likely to enjoy the culture. Management could be more supportive of innovation and initiative.

      Very good name to have on your resume.

      Pros

      Everyone in the company is just a phone call away. People are very willing to help (b/c everyone is on the bonus system). Great products that have a great reputation. Selling the actual product is quite easy.

      Cons

      Busy times of the year can be down right miserable. Management doesn't realize this and just keeps cracking that whip over and over. Have been told the summer is "great", but I have yet to experience this. Also, I was never told any information about sick leave, vacation time, or holidays. Too many things are "off the record."

      Pros

      The benefits package is what was important to me. The work was honorable as it was to created school books for kids.

      Cons

      Your just a number. Everyone is worried about loosing their jobs. The top management and even your direct manager is not at the site you work at. Communication is difficult.
