Cengage reviews

As a whole, school libraries just aren't supported financially in many states so the demand for what Gale offers is quite low to non-existent in some areas of the country. But those areas still have the same high quotas as anywhere else. Gale products are nice-to-have, not must-haves. In many instances the sales team is tasked with selling things that no one in education is asking for. Even after a sale, usage among customers is very, very low and so you just hope that they don't look at their stats. The opportunity for advancement is almost non-existent especially in the sales team. I once interviewed for a different position outside of sales and the hiring team expressed suspicion that I might favor the sales department over other teams. It's a big red flag if your colleagues are suspicious of sales, the ones who bring in the money. This company is a great entry-level opportunity in the EdTech field, but the pay is nearly a decade behind what other companies are paying.

Constant rumors of (and actual) layoffs are stressful. Systems are outdated. Upper management is very lacking in diversity.
