Pros

The people--overall everyone is nice, just overworked.

Cons

Lack of communication from management, product decisions and strategies are done too late, not enough digital resources and technology available for staff and customers, special treatment offered to upper management, not enough benefits, too much money spent on events rather than on employee salaries--it's like every department works in a vacuum and we don't know what's going on.

Pros

I worked for Houghton Mifflin College Division, a company that I loved and cared deeply about. We were purchased by Cengage Learning back in June 2008 and quite frankly upper management had no clue how to integrate the two companies. Information was never disseminated properly and it remained unclear -- well beyond the acquisition -- as to what people's job responsibilities included.

Cons

Upper management is clueless and now that the company is so large, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle.
