People here are very willing to help with each other. It is a great joy to work with the people in the company.

Pros

Above average compensation and benefits, good work/life balance for 8 months out of the year. Culture is fairly laid-back.

Cons

It varies from department, but the one I was a member of was managed by someone who was focused on furthering her own career as opposed to helping her employees learn and grow. There is a lot of favoritism and cronyism. If you are a yes person and can put on a fake smile for 9 month s to a year, you get promoted. If you come in, do your job but also tell management how you think things can be done better, you will be punished. Implementation department reeks of this, so do not apply if anything in your prospective job title/duties mentions the word "implementation."

Pros

The company has some of the best products on the market (albeit the tech component is falling behind because of management decisions to focus on print). The compensation is decent, and the benefits are good.

Cons

There has been a huge shift in culture in just the last year. HUGE. This is not the CA it was 12-15 months ago. As has been mentioned in nearly every non-gleaming review, this is not a place for you if you aren't a "Yes!" man/woman. Senior Management doesn't really want to hear the issues, they want to be told they are right and have their ego stroked. Some major attitudes and egos within the Sr echelons. The cattiness has been mentioned and it's getting worse. Starting to be more and more cliques which are making doing business the right way more and more difficult. Friends are being brought in to staff management positions and all it's creating is an environment where doing business and helping teachers/students is getting harder and harder.
