      Profits, of course, but can't you care just a little about educating people?

      Pros

      Great opportunity to see from the inside the decline and fall of college textbook publishing. Coworkers are great and supportive.

      Cons

      Salary is awful, especially compared to the amount of profit the education division makes. Our customers are instructors and students, not bookstores or the sales reps! And for the love of God, get rid of the new edition every three years whether you need it or not model - that above all is ruining the industry.

      Good company to work for, need to spend time in sales to really advance

      Pros

      The company is pretty flexible when it comes to work schedules and allows working from home when you need it. Like a lot of publishing jobs, you'll work more than 40 hours sometimes, but the fact that they are flexible about hours makes it okay. The benefits are great, dress code is fairly laid back, and overall people seem to be happy working there.

      Cons

      You really need to spend some time in sales if you want to advance into upper management. In some cases this is valid, but somtimes there are people who would make great managers without spending the requisite 2 years in a sales job. If you don't do that, it will just take a lot longer to move up.
