This company is headed for bankruptcy...do not kid yourself

Business Outlook

Pros

It used to be the people and the support of the former management

Cons

Close to 300 talented, hard working and loyal employees in sales, sales management and editorial, were laid off within the last year alone. (Interestingly enough, one of the persons in the video below was also laid off.) Influx of executives hired from Pearson who are bringing in their teams/recruits. Company trying to turn into a mini-Pearson. Sorry, but it's too little too late.
