Pros

One of the major Pros of working here is the people you work with and the job your doing. The people are some of the happiest people I have ever been around. It is very easy pace. There isn't any stressful situations. Also, the purpose of Schoalstic - to get books into the hands of children - is very fulfilling. I enjoying being able to tell people that I am an employee of Scholastic Book Fairs.

Cons

The systems that they use are old and inefficient.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
