Pros

There is a good work life balance, a lot of PTO days and the chance to work from home every so often.

Cons

The company doesn't have its priorities straight. They'd rather invest in redesigning the building than keep 120 full-time employees. There is also no room for growth in most departments and pay is very low even in the publishing industry

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.
