Pros

none that outweigh the cons

Cons

lots - sales job, pure and simple. Make the numbers by hook or crook to make your boss looks good or the heat is on, always negative. Favoritism rampant. They promise the schools they partner with that they will deliver the students, then put the screws onto admissions to "sell"/push applications on even the most unqualified of candidates. Management has made grown men cry.

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.
