A complete, unmitigated disaster

Pros

$.25 sodas in the Boston office

Cons

Executive management seems determined to destroy the company. Legacy print products are allowed to persist with no revenues. Endless strings of meetings are held by multiple committees to accomplish absolutely nothing. The handful of people who actually understand educational technology in the company are marginalized or outright fired, while people who have years of demonstrated incompetence are put in charge because they are old world publishing. This company will go down in flames.

Pros

Great people, good products. A feeling of satisfaction and financial well-being in the years where my sales targets were reached.

Cons

Loss of self-confidence and motivation in the years where i don't hit my sales goal. Unreasonable sales goals. Cap on bonuses. Inside sales reps make less and have fewer perks than field reps and it's blatantly unfair.
