Pros

The people I worked with were great. I can't say enough about the person leading our sales department. He always had your back and was a very forward looking person.

Cons

The company changed right before our eyes from being family oriented - the Wiley's were very much a part of the company - and treated you like their family. Now that is totally gone. They got the idea that they had to change to a company that was primarily digital and they cast off book product and people respectively. Wiley was suppose to be the place to be as mentioned by the former CEO so many, many times. But then it went south and now it is know as Wiley the place to flee. Some of this is also the Wiley family deciding this was the right thing to do and which is so un-Wiley like. Terrible how they wrecked so many lives while they continue to get stock options galore.

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.
