      Pros

      Excellent working environment. Everyone really stays true to the team mentality. Tons of company happy hours, clubs, events, and initiatives to make it a fun place to work. No one is afraid to step in to help others. Very easy to make friends here.

      Cons

      Not really a con with the company itself, just a con with the industry. Publishing is a tough business and the pay rate (especially for entry level positions) is very low. I started in 2018 and was paid 40k for an editorial assistant job. For the amount of work that job takes, plus living in New York at the time, the salary made it hard to be financially comfortable. But again, this is really a fault in the publishing industry as a whole since other publishers face very similar issues.

      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

      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.
