Pros

Most of the people are very pleasant to work with. The hours and benefits are good and most managers are willing to work with you if you need to work from home occasionally.

Cons

As in most publishing industry positions, the pay is not great. The subject matter of the content can seem less then thrilling considering it's all non-fiction and with a heavy focus on education.

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.
