This job ruined my mental health (J&J Editorial division)
Pros
The people I worked alongside everyday were great, individual work tasks were not too hard, my manager seemed at times like she was genuinely trying to help me
Cons
Where to begin? Severely underpaid for the same work because of the state I lived in. Layoffs and restructuring galore. I was consistently producing quality work when given adequate time but they took our team from 12 people down to 7 with no reduction in workload and then our journal saw a 30% uptick in submissions. This is a company that talks a big game about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but at the end of the day I know nearly a dozen queer, BIPOC and/or disabled workers who have either been fired, laid off, or quit because of how terrible Wiley treated them. I was fired for performance reasons, which is technically accurate given I was failing to meet the lofty standard put upon me. I received a warning for "using too much unscheduled PTO", when I had to use that PTO for work-related panic attacks. I have reason to believe that my outspokenness about this and other issues was part of the reason I was let go. In summary: save yourself the heartache.
