    Pros

    This was a great company to work with to introduce me to inside sales. They provided support and any assistance needed. The office became a family.

    Cons

    Unfortunately our office in Alpharetta closed. I worked at McGraw Hill longer than 5 years ago however it wouldn't let me submit if it was longer than 5 years. I just wanted to say this is one of the very best places that I have worked in sales.

    Pros

    Leadership cares, product is fantastic - stands above the competition in almost every way, fantastic co-workers….some of the best and brightest I’ve known.

    Cons

    Industry specific challenges that the company is trying to keep up with but it’s impossible here in Cali. Health benefits/coverage aren’t great but also aren’t cheap. In other words, we don’t get what we pay for.
