Pros

Working at Wiley as a Sales Director has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company fosters a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, making it an ideal place for professional growth. The collaborative spirit at Wiley is one of my favorite things. I have had the pleasure of working closely with talented colleagues across Sales, Product, Marketing, and Engineering. Their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in achieving our sales targets and driving the company's and my own success.

Cons

The publishing industry is facing significant economic pressures felt across all teams at Wiley. For example, the shift towards open access and the rise of digital platforms has disrupted traditional publishing methods and created some uncertainty in the industry. Problems like these have led to tighter budgets and a need for increased focus on our organizational strategy and spending, which can sometimes limit resources for innovative projects.

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.
