- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
101 years following a worthy mission for children and reading and engagement
Cons
101 years of some old systems and processes
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
* The entire company is mission-driven and truly cares about impacting children's literacy and cultivating a love of learning * Strong, positive brand association among teachers and parents * There is a lot of opportunity to contribute your ideas to any project, but the processes for taking a project to market are very unclear * Great opportunities for growth and advancement, if you are okay with dealing with ambiguity and taking on more work
Cons
* Very, very, very little blue-sky innovation. * Processes, systems, and technologies are quite out of date * The company is not structured for growth. Many functional teams are siloed in separate business-units, and very few individuals/teams have a goal-oriented mindset * Data-driven decision-making is often talked about, but rarely practiced. Data teams are super smart and helpful, but are not embedded functionally, so impact is always limited. * There is a general misunderstanding of underlying growth drivers for the business units and the enterprise, often starting at top-level management.

Pros
Remote work, company benefits, good work culture, training and everything is at your fingertips.
Cons
May take many years to move up and policies.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Pretty easy tasks and overtime sometimes
Cons
On Thursdays and Fridays it gets really busy so prepare
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The people in technology are talented and easy to work with. My boss is brilliant and treats me very well. I enjoy the projects I work on and the team I work with has an amazing tech lead. I've worked in a number of bad jobs with people who are indifferent or even abusive , so working with someone who clearly understands the entire ecosystem and can see how my work clearly benefits the bottom line, it's such a relief and feels long overdue. If I wanted to keep working in a corporate environment and if the culture remained smart and supportive, I'd happily stay at Scholastic until retirement.
Cons
Way too much work and the timelines are so short. We always manage to make it to the finish line, but we're always juggling multiple projects and there never seems to be any time to catch our breath before moving on to the next thing.

Pros

Cons
None at all for now hopefully.

Pros
the company offers great FT benefits
Cons
Limited benefits for PT employees
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
I had a good time in the company
Cons
I had to leave the job
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Some really great people and peers
Cons
Horrible leadership. Truly, awful. This vertical is driven by trickery, fear and a deep, dark and toxic environment, artificially paraded to the CEO as bubbly and fun. During meetings with this team’s leadership they will talk negatively about other people or departments and then block you from interacting with them for fear of losing power or for the gossip to get back to that person. High turn around on the team over the years should have gotten the attention of HR by now but instead, the toxic leadership gets promoted and can rein even further terror on this group.

Pros
Plenty of holidays off compared to other companies.
Cons
Lots of harassment, do nothing supervisors, and overtime that breaks your body for not a lot of pay.
