Pros

Incredibly smart, talented, and nice colleagues. Opportunity to advance scientific understanding and knowledge through scholarly publishing. Some flexibility in work schedule. Generous PTO.

Cons

Recently adopted assembly line approach means less opportunity for variety and learning new skills, and high volumes of more repetitive tasks. Doing more with fewer workers means longer hours for many.

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.
