      Positive

      Pros

      There is a positive work environment and there is a good work/life focus at Cengage Learning which is greater than other companies.

      Cons

      Large companies like Cengage Learning often have additional layers to their business reporting levels that you will not find in smaller companies.

      Great place to build your professional experience

      Pros

      As a freelancer, the pay is quite nice compared to other freelance gigs. Furthermore, the jobs/projects have been fairly consistent, without huge gaps in between.

      Cons

      As a freelancer, you obviously lack the benefits of full-time exployment, such as predictable income, benefits, and so on. Sometimes a project may be cancelled prematurely by a client, and neither you nor Cengage/Gale can really do anything about it.

      Excellent workforce, floundering senior management

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gale has one of the very best workforces around. Intelligent, passionate, engaged employees who believe in the company's mission (when the mission holds still for a few minutes). People work hard and management up to the middle management area are generally tuned into their employees and supportive. Great co-workers.

      Cons

      Senior management is lost. They don't want to face the reality of the information/publishing business, so keep getting caught up in the latest "cool" management trend instead of working on the real issues. The amount of time wasted on new processes (to create the same old products that don't break the mold) is unconscionable. The company's philosophy (like so many floundering companies'): When in doubt, reorg. Shameful.
