      Pros

      I was able to arrange a 4 day work week and get full benefits, not many other companies would do that Company has a great mission - to help kids read, and help teachers stay on top of new trends and regulations (common core standards) Trade publishing has eye for talent - Scholastic publishes The Hunger Games and Harry Potter series

      Cons

      CEO runs public company like a family business - each business unit has its own P&L so there is a lot of competition and territoriality among the business units - leading to mistrust and tension. Every 2-3 years, there are major management shake-ups as the CEO thinks it will lead to change but as long as he runs the business this way, it won't. There is little opportunity for advancement unless there is a management shake-up and VPs are fired.

      Pros

      HIstoric company, many people believe greatly in its mission.

      Cons

      People are paid to complete tasks. Forward-thinking projects or new ideas are exciting during a meeting but typically never evolve.
