Pros

The Mpls division of Wiley has built great products that help organizations work better. They do a good job of treating their distributors/customers well.

Cons

Unfortunately the management team doesn't seem to be able to practice what they preach. The GM often belittles and intimidates anyone who dares to have a different opinion than his own. Tears and therapy are not at all uncommon for those who work for him.

Pros

Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

Cons

Pay and hybrid office work

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
