      Pretty easy job but in decline

      Pros

      The work is pretty easy overall and relatively low stress.

      Cons

      Hard work is not actually recognized and the company has been offshoring everything to the detriment of the employee experience and quality.

      So glad and grateful to be out of there

      Pros

      I 'grew up' at Cengage. I had the best manager a person could have and I thrived. Was my first corporate job and liked the perks! Car, bonuses, pay, etc. Benefits are good. Tuition reimbursement and just overall solid benefits. I am grateful for my time there and there's a lot of solid people. And the severance when the layoff happened was great, plus they set you up with a company to help you find another job.

      Cons

      The last two years were brutal. I had survived multiple re-orgs and layoffs, and I'm glad I was let go when I was. Disorganized, so much gossip, toxic complaining, And the products are good but not great and constant tech issues (which I know will exist anywhere) The industry is not great and hasn't been for awhile. It's hard to be a part of that when you're working for a company that needs to survive. And all the stuff with Cengage being bought by some other company to make us profitable? I get it, it's a company and needs to make money. My time was done at Cengage. Lots of unhappy people and that's what people are bonded on (trauma bonding?!) They are trying but I'm just glad to not have to fake a smile anymore.

      Pros

      Good benefits and lots of holidays and time off.

      Cons

      Salary ranges are transparent but if you don't live in a major city you are paid less.
