Pros

Ability to work remotely, decent benefits and pay, and my job role itself is okay

Cons

The culture here is completely toxic - people openly scream/yell at one another on calls, there is no respect between colleagues, and leaders push their people to point fingers vs. working together to get things done. I've spoken to my leader but it's getting to a point where I'm starting to look for other positions at other companies.

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.
