Pros

This company has some of the best sales reps and mid-level managers in the business.

Cons

It's as if upper management has never been in sales! First they outlawed taking customers to dinner while our competitors continue to tell everyone this fact and take advantage of it. Second, they purged all of the experienced (25 years or more) curriculum managment and are now paying the price all over the USA with tanking revenue in curriculum adoptions. The most arrogant group of upper-management ever who will not listen to sales reps and mid-level managers about product development nor marketing strategies. Imploding results in major curriculum adoptions around the US.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
