Pros

Great vacation time, 401k, salary, benefits, great management. If you work hard you will do good and be able to advance in the company.

Cons

Long hours. Goals can be hard to reach because of the economy and budget cuts taking place in schools and libraries.

Pros

They have the best benefits of anyplace I have ever worked. You get 4 weeks vacation the first year and then shortly thereafter you get five. You have good health coverage, you get to wear jeans to work everyday, and you can flex your start time.

Cons

I happened to have a very passive aggressive manager who gave me a hard time about using my sick time after I had an illness after having my child. While the company was flexible about start times, she was not. Other people could work from home. I could not. So overall the company is a good place to work, but you may end up with an incompetent manager.

Pros

Great Employees, team environment, have each others back, socialize alot, Management/HR is truly interested in employee morale. HR is focused on employees. Chicago Management has our backs. The Chicago office still runs like a venture capital firm, where the employees are invested in Product Development and goals that are reached are celebrated.

Cons

The Chicago Office is a part of the entire Cengage organization now. Politics and employee handbooks have creeped in where a conversation used to be the protocol. The atmosphere is much more corporate now.
