Pros

When you believe in what you're selling, other people feel it. Knowing Scholastic from childhood helps with your storytelling. The managers are great and they care about their team. No work is taken outside of the office. Great work life balance as well.

Cons

Goals are realistic if you do the work, but like all industries, the macroeconomic landscape greatly affects performance. I wish there were more opportunities for overtime.
