Pros

35 hour work week, a casual office environment, reasonable workload, low-stress office, ample vacation and holidays, and good work/life balance (the company encouraged employees to develop and foster outside interests).

Cons

Virtually no room for promotion or growth, departments are siloed, management resists change, creativity is not encouraged (I've worked for four publishing companies and this was the most corporate and least innovative/creative of all of them). Then Wiley went through a massive restructuring where many jobs were outsourced, eliminated, and offshored. The restructuring took over 2 years and slowly more and more people were let go. It felt like a slow death and killed office morale, and upper management seems disinterested in revitalizing it.

Pros

Good work/life balance, especially for new mothers, they seem to care.

Cons

Career progression can be difficult, 5-10 + years to move up, but they do provide opportunities for some development. As a result, the turnover of staff was high in the editing department (every 2 years).

Pros

All of my managers were fair and understanding. The hours are flexible with the ability to work remotely. Also, benefits are generous.

Cons

Common for the industry, but compensation is not great and promotions can be difficult. Many people have been around for a long time, even if ineffective, so it's sometimes tough to move up.
