Pros

- the people are nice, generally helpful and I have made many friends that I hang out with outside of work - the company is established and benefits/ work and life balace is good - don't have to work late.. can get by doing little

Cons

- salary is pathetic and increases are VERY low.. 2% each year.. no chances to move up unless you go into sales - work is not very interesting - people are slow to react- don't praise those who do well - company is too heavy on upper management- people don't innovate just get by to earn a paycheck

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.
