Pros

Colleagues are generally enjoyable to work with and most have a skill level required to do their jobs which assists with effectively completing team related projects.

Cons

Below industry compensation and lots of excuses from comp team about the data they purchase to assist with setting salary ranges. Those excuses aren’t fooling anyone. Little to no adjustment to compensation for inflation, despite other similar organizations making efforts to take care of their people. Attrition is horrible right now. New people announcing their resignations every week. I have never seen so many departures so close together. People are leaving because they are not being paid fairly and are now doing the jobs of 2 and sometime e people due to short staffing.

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.
