Great benefits from the days of yore
Cons
Problems get personalized at Cengage Learning. Rather than dealing with the organizatrion's problems, people are involved in interpersonal conflicts, backstabbing, and discrediting each other. Usually they sacrifice the most valuable and scarcest treasures and replace them with mediocre types. The poisonous atmosphere encourages the circulation of outrageous rumors. One common M.O. involves protecting tturf by building cliques and coalitions that are constantly changing. They spend a lot of time fighting for personal survival by eliminating and discrediting internal "competition". Talented people are objects of fear and distrust, and they either get fired or leave.
Advice to Senior Management
Remove fear. You might get better results. Hopefully, the new leadership will clean house.
