      Cengage is the BEST Employer

      Pros

      Generous benefits and paid time off. Cenage cares about its employees and wants everyone to feel like they belong. They are as transparent as a company can be and they include all departments in quarterly town hall meetings to discuss the health of the company and what is upcoming in the next year

      Cons

      There are not many cons. Every company has its "cons" I have worked in higher education for over 20 years and there is not much I can complain about at Cengage when I compare them to other higher education companies and institutions I have worked for Cengage is far above the rest and really cares about employees and their satisfaction with Cengage. You just do not find that very often.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience. I am pleased to hear that you enjoy working here and are satisfied with the benefits that we provide. Our employees are a top priority, and we work hard to make sure that everyone feels valued. Our company-wide First Friday conversations, mentoring programs, continued investment in learning and development opportunities and wellness days off are great examples of this. I believe transparency, trust and inclusivity is what differentiates Cengage Group. I appreciate your input, and I encourage you to reach out to me directly with any suggestions on how we can continue to improve. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO

      Declining. Would not recommend

      Pros

      Remote for my team though this can vary between different business units. Benefits are good with 401k match and paid holidays.

      Cons

      Declining since investment from Apollo. For sales are quotas are unrealistic with even direct leadership agreeing. No help from marketing or plans to reach those quotas. Last year they increase quota and decreased our commission so literally told to do more for less. Communication is abhorrent between teams like finances, sales, customer experience etc. ELT doesn't really listen. Just gives you the appearance of listening but nothing is addressed or done. Compensation is not great compared to other organizations. Unrealistic expectations of work that can be done. Only so much room on someone's plate.
