Pros

I really enjoy working at World Book for a variety of reasons. I get to work with a lot of amazingly intelligent people who work hard to collectively create well-crafted products that help to educate children throughout the world. I think we all value education and that passion creates a dedicated team who all contribute to World Book's success. I love that we're always creating new products and approaching things differently to respond to our customer's needs. It's awesome working for a company that contributes to the greater good!

Cons

Actually, I think it's an exciting time to be working at World Book. We're about to celebrate our 100th anniversary and I like the direction we are headed.

Pros

Wonderful collaborative atmosphere where everyone was extremely helpful to me when I was first at the company. My boss was so much like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" and utilized a laissez faire leadership style with was very effective.

Cons

I can find nothing negative to report on this company.

Pros

Good people. Hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Low pay, when a coworker leaves, there is no replacement, that person's responsibilities get divided and spread out to the entire team. The President of the company, is quick to jump to unfounded rumors, scuttlebutt from "anonymous suggestion box" comments and conclusions as opposed to actual facts, and focused solely on dollars signs, his bonus and does not lead by example, despite being a former military officer. Moral has dropped at the company because management doesn't take the employees issues and concerns to heart and pay a decent livable wage.
