Pros

You don't have to work really hard to succeed. Sure, people work really hard, stress themselves out and make everyone else crazy by how hard they are working. But there are plenty of people who phone it in, literally, and get away with it. On site cafeteria. Average food, but it's close.

Cons

Hoboken is one horrible place to commute to. There are no promotions, and teeny (2% or less) yearly salary increases. You can be in a job for 15 years with no title change and be told you're doing a great job. Why would you ever want a new title? You're doing great. If someone leaves, even your boss, you're doing his or her job with no title upgrade, salary bump or even a thank you.

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.
