Pros

Nothing good at all frankly

Cons

A healthy person got into this company last summer and now going to leave with a bunch of mental health issues. Oh forget to mention that I am leaving because I am getting suicidal.

We take your review seriously but there’s a need to delve more into the issues highlighted in your review. Our recent employee opinion survey shows strong positive momentum in how people experience working at Elsevier, but it appears that hasn’t been the case here. We want to ensure that Elsevier is a place where all employees trust leaders and feel supported. We suggest that you speak to EAP (Employee Assistance Programming free of charge and available 24/7 to you), immediately as well as your HR Partners. To investigate this further and take appropriate action, feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information. Again, thanks for your review.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
