Pros

Work-life balance was a realistic expectation.

Cons

The staff was made up of caucasian women mostly, with caucasian men overrepresented in leadership positions. This probably accounts for incredibly low salaries across the board.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm disappointed to hear about your experiences; fortunately, we have an all new dedicated diversity, equity, and inclusion team working very hard to make systemic changes starting at talent acquisition through the entire organization including our rewards and benefits teams making changes to pay and benefits to reflect a more diverse population.

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.
