Pros

Working with instructors to empower and inspire their students is one of the best feelings in the world. My job helping instructors is making a direct impact on the next generation to make the world a better place.

Cons

Trial and error nature of moving from print to digital can be rough sometimes.

Pros

I've moved up steadily in a variety of positions over the past 10 years and hit goals many times. But what keeps me around are my amazing peers and supportive management. So much of this place feels like family to me. The work to life balance is fantastic as well!

Cons

Not many at all. You get what you put in, in terms of hitting goals. It can be challenging at times but the pay off (literal) and rewards are great! There are many opportunities to add to your base salary through out the year.

Learning Consultant- Field Based

Pros

The company has amazing product and marketing team members, great sales resources, fantastic customer service to help gain and keep business, ongoing employee training available, team support and I could go on and on. The company has adapted to change and is making an effort to change the education technology landscape. I have felt supported and valued during my 4 years at Cengage. They are improving their transparency and making an effort to make sure employees are in the know about these changing times in Higher Education. Being field based is also the biggest perk. Being able to create my own schedule and have a flexible work environment is perfect for my work style and family dynamic. You have to be motivated and ambitious in this kind of role to be successful, but it is well worth it!

Cons

There is some inconsistency between product and platform resources and services, but that is business (some sell better than others). There have been a LOT of changes in the last four years; Some of them great and others not so much.
