      In need of better management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When Scholastic was a growing company, there was tremendous opportunity. The culture is difficult, but if you worked for a good boss, there was much opportunity to grow. For working moms, the work/ life balance is great.

      Cons

      Scholastic needs better upper management with vision and the talent to operate more efficiently. Also, upper managers in the revenue groups do not always work well together. This conflict travels downward through the corporate culture.

      Great Experience, lack of Growth

      Pros

      Family oriented, often people bring there children to work. There is an indoor greenhouse and the Scholastic Store often throws birthday parties. Everyone is friendly to one another for the most part and there are many employees who have been there for a very long time. There is a lot of experience to gain, especially for one in the IT division. The eScholastic division in particular works with a wide range of new technologies to develop interactive sites, games, and mobile apps.

      Cons

      As with many big companies, there isn't much growth. They seldom promote and bring in consultants with big salaries that you will then have to train. If you are going to come in as FT, you have to make sure you demand a high salary upfront. The only true way to get a raise is to quit unfortunately.
