Pros

Good office culture (before COVID), regular pay (biweekly), good amount of PTO

Cons

They take advantage of their employees and do not pay them what they're worth, citing the uncertainty of the global pandemic, while also boasting about exceeding goals by the double digits. The do not value their employees. I was told by an upper level manager that if I didn't like working in my current position at WES that I "should be thankful for this job because there are a ton of people looking for work right now who could easily replace [me]." Implying that WES can treat their employees however they want because it's an employer's market right now and even the most tenured of employees are replaceable.

Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

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.
