Pros

The work is fun and the people are great

Cons

Loyalty is not rewarded. Many people have to leave and come back to get a higher position. Massive layoffs and restructures constantly, forcing a feeling of uneasiness and causing managers to lie when they know you're getting let go but they have to hide it, They pay is very low.

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.
