      Investing in all the right places

      Pros

      The company is not afraid to invest in their people. They invest heavily in equipment, software, and social activities for employees to enjoy where they work. Some senior executives are very open with the teams, come out for beers, and work alongside even entry level developers on a regular basis. They embody the company values to a T.

      Cons

      I emphasized 'some senior executives' as this company (like most) do have some 'ivory tower' executives too. While the good executives (mentioned in the 'pros') do all the right things to value their employees, the other executives either dismiss the knowledge and ideas of staff, or even sometimes demean them and publicly scold them on the open floor for something that wasn't even their fault.

      Pros

      The name Elsevier really means something in the Allied Health space. It opened doors for me to be the best salesperson I could be. Content was second to none.

      Cons

      The administrative duties and outdated record keeping meant many hours in a non-sales mode. Challenge was also changing buying patterns of the students.
