Pros

The people, at most levels, are wonderful. Benefits tend to be very good. Flexible with work-life balance.

Cons

They've forgotten their sense of community and the value of their people. I've been with Wiley 10+ years and it's a very different business (I understand it's a different time and a rapidly changing business environment but it shouldn't affect how you treat your people). They're laying off entire departments and outsourcing valuable roles.

Great products - messed up culture.

Pros

The Mpls division of Wiley has built great products that help organizations work better. They do a good job of treating their distributors/customers well.

Cons

Unfortunately the management team doesn't seem to be able to practice what they preach. The GM often belittles and intimidates anyone who dares to have a different opinion than his own. Tears and therapy are not at all uncommon for those who work for him.
