Pros

Independent/flexibile- set your own daily schedule.

Cons

Constantly changing and reorganizing of company’s structure resulting in letting people go, constant revolving door of reps- no consistency, insufficient training, selling digital products is the main goal which customers are unhappy with and leaving to competition. Commission/bonus is paid out based on yearly goal attained, systems to track where you are relative to your goal are never accurate, then the company reorganizes again and your numbers and territory become unrecognizable making it impossible to hit goal. Job is essentially 24/7 - work on campus during the day and emails all night. Company car is not allowed for personal use without paying out of pocket.

Pros

Great people, emerging focus on digital transformation, and identifying new markets for educational products and services. Excellent products and assets.

Cons

The problems at Cengage are endemic to the business. Don't be forlorn, be fore-armed. The education marketplace is undergoing rapid change and disruption. Cengage needs to stick to its plan, recognizing that faster comes when we retain focus on the student, the customer, the end user.
