      Pros

      This company has great product lines however the inability of the marketing department does not allow the investment and development of the product lines to be actualized. This company has many talented and dedicated employees above mid management and below the mid management levels.

      Cons

      The overwhelming obstacle to this company is poor and unprofessional mid management. Managers are not inspiring nor do they offer quality traits which should be found in leadership. The mid and upper management that has been in place for several years continually protect themselves and the long time "friends of managers".

      Pros

      Company has some interesting approaches to the market and in the past they seemed value employees. There are some good employees there and there was, in the past, visionary leadership, but the people with the vision and leadership skills left the company a few years ago.

      Cons

      The company actively de-values employees. They had a project they called "Project Horizon" where they told all employees they needed to cut costs, so the company was going to have multiple layoffs over 3-5 years - but nobody was allowed to know when, where, or why - - just one day large swaths of people would be gone. That hung over everyone's heads - for years, and is indicative of how Cengage values employees - it doesn't. Everything is about trying to secure new funding and prepare for an IPO, so they stopped investing significantly in the products about 3 years ago and that's about when they stopped acting like they cared about employee wellness as well.
