Thanks for your review. It's unfortunate to know that this is how you feel about some managers. This is not the kind of working environment that we want for our employees. We are fully committed to creating a fair and equitable work environment for our people. Our workforce of over 7,600 employees globally has an average length of service of 9.2 years. We want to keep things this way because our people are our strength. We are always training our people managers and we will continue to do this. However, if you feel you can help by providing any further feedback, you can send it anonymously through elseviergdrev@elsevier.com

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
