Happy, yet miserable

Pros

location, environment, security, benefits, CLEAN

Cons

too many chiefs! Being brand new to my department I quickly caught on to my colleagues bitterness towards the company and its interest in keeping certain individuals from moving ahead. The training here is horrendous. Although I enjoy the company as a whole, the sales department is full of bitter, uneducated individuals.

Avoid -- Hybrid publishing environment and toxic workplace

Editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.

Depends on your team

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home was nice. Depending on the team you'll have some amazing managers. You'll learn a lot and the people are nice. If you like publishing you will feel like you're really working towards something.

Cons

Absolutely no direction. They have forced out or laid off all of the good people. The gap between new talent and old talent is decades deep.
