      Good company, trying to survive in a dying industry.

      Senior educational consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent base pay w/ good incentive compensation if you make your number. Great benefits package...sales reps get a car w/ maintenance and gas all paid for, along with medical, 401(k), etc. Very competitive textbook offerings in most disciplines.

      Cons

      Too many different technology offerings with no consistent brand. Financially unstable, which has lead to mass layoffs. Long and non-traditional hours, so lots of nights and weekends make it hard to get that work/life balance.

      The company was one of the best in the industry and that has now changed! The management was at one time the best in the industry. There was pride, and respect that came with being a success at Cengage Learning.People make the company!

      Cons

      Too much change all at once now everyone is in fear of their future and the companies as well , The sharks a circling the tank.

      The next chapter may be chapter 11 new CEO needs to turn the page.

      Account manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This company has great product lines however the inability of the marketing department does not allow the investment and development of the product lines to be actualized. This company has many talented and dedicated employees above mid management and below the mid management levels.

      Cons

      The overwhelming obstacle to this company is poor and unprofessional mid management. Managers are not inspiring nor do they offer quality traits which should be found in leadership. The mid and upper management that has been in place for several years continually protect themselves and the long time "friends of managers".
