Pros

- Excellent support from your Leadership Team, Managers, & LC's - Outstanding online training program & in person training on campus - Dedicated mission & vision to serving our customers with the best products - Wonderful benefits and fun atmosphere that come with this career - Offers consistent support to our customers This is by far the absolute best company I've ever had the privilege in working for. Cengage Learning has a tremendous amount of resources for you to be successful and offers all the support you need in setting you up for a great career. I'm thankful for the leadership I have in this team and I'm looking forward to establishing relationships with our awesome customers.

Cons

The only cons I can truly think of at this time with this career at Cengage Learning is the following: - Industry constantly changing & customers change - Wear many different hats with the career - If you're newer to the industry, the first year can take some time in making it your territory your own With all this said, I understand that change can be difficult and frustrating at times; however, I welcome change! Cengage Learning is constantly striving to improve and is always innovating. It simply makes you stronger professionally in this industry and motivates you to keep up with the updates. In addition, I love wearing different hats in this career because it's molding me to be a dynamic individual. This first year will be challenging, but you get out what you put in. You must be organized, open to change, patient, and genuine to be successful in this industry!

Pros

Company has some interesting approaches to the market and in the past they seemed value employees. There are some good employees there and there was, in the past, visionary leadership, but the people with the vision and leadership skills left the company a few years ago.

Cons

The company actively de-values employees. They had a project they called "Project Horizon" where they told all employees they needed to cut costs, so the company was going to have multiple layoffs over 3-5 years - but nobody was allowed to know when, where, or why - - just one day large swaths of people would be gone. That hung over everyone's heads - for years, and is indicative of how Cengage values employees - it doesn't. Everything is about trying to secure new funding and prepare for an IPO, so they stopped investing significantly in the products about 3 years ago and that's about when they stopped acting like they cared about employee wellness as well.
