Elsevier Editorial Operations Associate reviews

Not a good place if you've had previous professional experience, better suited to those just starting out in the workforce. If you have predisposed thoughts of how things can operate efficiently and in a logical manner Elsevier is not the right place for you. There is no company level training apart from people in the same role as you taking some time out to go over things that they've learned in the process, there isn't a formal documented training procedure. Little to no advancement opportunities. The company is so silo-ed (even withing a single office) so much so that most people don't know what other people's jobs are. Pay is low when compared to industry averages. The company survives on Survey Monkey surveys and work groups to handle the problems that management has identified and these are comprised of different personnel at different levels that are often ignored. Every 6 months like clockwork a new organizational change is implemented. It's usually some realignment with the other divisions of the company which means you will probably have a new manager, vp or reporting staff supporting you.

Pay is very low, need to make more opportunities available to those who are capable not just to those employees who happen to have been there the longest. You have to fight to get good projects to work on and there not enough training available for development. HR are pretty much non-existent. They welcome you on your first day and you won't see them again. Organization mapping is confusing - it'd be better to have a manager who is familiar with the work you do and can actually provide a step-up.
