Pros

Loved the family friendly atmosphere. Was able to have a great work/life balance. Super professional people, NICE people fulfilling a mission.

Cons

May layoffs EVERY year. Was hired even though my Manager knew my tenure would probably not be more than two years. :-( The other divisions of Scholastic are bringing down the proverbial ship and thus Scholastic Book Fairs was forced to do really deep layoffs over the last several years.

Pros

When you believe in what you're selling, other people feel it. Knowing Scholastic from childhood helps with your storytelling. The managers are great and they care about their team. No work is taken outside of the office. Great work life balance as well.

Cons

Goals are realistic if you do the work, but like all industries, the macroeconomic landscape greatly affects performance. I wish there were more opportunities for overtime.
