Pros

Commute and....nope tha'ts about it

Cons

incompetence is rewarded, blatant favoritism, no one is held accountable for their OWN mistakes, blame game, supervisors or incapabale of doing anything themselves, you have supervisors who do not know how to use simple programs like EXCEL! Supervisor doesn't know how to copy and paste! Supervisor doesn't know simple MATH! Supervisor doesn't know much about anything. That seems to be the norm with supervisors there. You become one if you have been there forever and a day. But the newbies who know their stuff will never make it to that level because of contant lay offs and the supervisors know a threat when they see it. Stay away

Pros

Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

Cons

Pay and hybrid office work

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.
