      Not the best place to be right now

      Pros

      The office is in a good location, and is a friendly place for the most part. They try to instill a good atmosphere where people can feel good about going in each day.

      Cons

      The company has been undergoing significant changes for many years now. It is now owned by a holding company and will likely be sold and sold again if the owners are not happy with the profits, which are not looking good. Prices are coming up to make up for low sales, which is making customers unhappy. Overall the corporate restructuring is unclear. Who will stay? Who will go? Who will make that decision and how? Many questions are unanswered. With the new merger with Houghton Mifflin it is even tougher to say if someone will still have a job.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work/life balance and flexibility to work remotely and take time off.

      Cons

      The company is coming out of being sold, merging subsidiaries, and then buying HM college division, has left the company on a bit of a staggering path. It still hasn't fully figured out how to operate efficiently given these changes.

      Pros

      Before the divestment it was the sense of community. You knew you were valued and you knew your opinions mattered. There are still pockets of excellence and if you find them you can become a part of something that brings value to education.

      Cons

      Since the divestiture from Thomson the company has lost its appreciation of internal talent and knowledge. Currently, they are putting out fires and have lost focus on strengthening the core of the business. If they could slow down they would se the fires diminish and the business flourish.
