They are good people and take care of their own

Sales manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Cengage allows you to work with some great people in a relatively low-stress environment, and they promote based upon skill, not upon longevity.

Cons

People stick around forever even if they aren't effective, so you will find a lot of people who, while fun, don't get a lot done. This can be frustrating, but it's workable.
