Pros

The health insurance and 8 paid weeks maternity leave.

Cons

The majority of the senior level management team are Caucasian and males. Any minorities in upper management are paid $1000s less regardless of the education. (I am not allowed to reveal the exact office, but most are in the South.) Special favor is held for those females the men find attractive and those females are rewarded with jobs for which they are not qualified. Many people with college degrees and more experience in their fields were passed over for jobs because of a strong culture of dishonesty from human resources. The company continues to fail because the people are unhappy and unfulfilled. Typically they prefer to put the women they find work in mediocre management positions so they can fulfill their equal opportunity requirements. For those of you in shock by these statements, review the Cengage learning org chart from some of their southern offices and you would be shocked at the obvious lines drawn. When asked why the culture was not as “mixed” in their offices as they were in the warehouse…HR responded “we only have to have 2.7 minorities for every 100. HR tends to use fear to drive employees out they do not want to pay a severance to. Bankruptcy and corruption are no surprise when it comes to Cengage Learning.

Pros

There really aren't any.. the health insurance is good but expensive.

Cons

Management is not connected in any way to the lower rungs. Lots of a ra ra speeches that really only focus on the sales group and their special trips to Figi or wherever they went. I can't get a new computer but our sales guys can to do some island for refreshing? Out of the mtg came a bunch of promotions. Sounds like everyone had a great time!
