Pros

The west coast office is really friendly and casual. The east coast office is bigger and so more fragmented into divisions. Overall the employees are pretty friendly, but the management is stand offish.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to have any idea about how hard employees work. They don't seem to understand that just because they are in New Jersey and not Manhattan, that it's not cheap to live. They spend lots of money on management, but expect the sales staff to advance money for travel and expenses.

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.
