Pros

Paid Leaves, Happy Friday, Medical Insurance

Cons

The work culture here is extremely toxic. Those who fit into the politics-driven and unhealthy environment are favored, while anyone who refuses to play along gets sidelined, cornered, or even bullied. Instead of encouraging professionalism, collaboration, and respect, the culture rewards negativity and exclusion. HR is one of the main reasons behind this situation. Rather than addressing issues and protecting employees, they often enable or overlook toxic behavior by bulling employees. This has created a workplace where growth, trust, and employee well-being are completely compromised. People are mentally suffering silently here all because they need to protect the job. If you value a healthy culture, mutual respect, and fair treatment, this is not the right place.

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.
