Pros

Great content, which is recognized by the academic community. Large portfolio of databases & supporting technology. One of the few publishers that has both content and technology across all disciplines.

Cons

Service strategy non existent, poor employee empowerment (decisions are not taken timely and all pass senior management). Endless stream of emails as result of lack clear division of responsibilities towards customers and lack of structured approach to service management. Little customer support resources available.

Pros

Very flexible hours and able to work from home. Fun work environment, good location and comfortable working area and good ergonomics.

Cons

They don't replace people when they quit. Management is super removed from what is going on. They don't seem to care that some are over worked due to lack of positions being filled. No lead available to help.
