      Pros

      Scholastic name and products are gold. Sincerely true to mission in helping teachers. Great location, good benefits (especially maternity leave), nice people. Great work-life balance office empties 5pm.

      Cons

      Senior Management in meetings for hours while staff waits for marching orders that often never materialize. Love triangles, blatant favortism, wasteful spending, disregard for deadlines and knee jerk reactions make for rich gossip and poor morale. No real goals and no accountability. Everyone cares but no one empowered. We seem to be stuck in old ways.

      Pros

      Great books and some pretty good programs

      Cons

      Upper management is disconnected from actual work. You have to know how to "manage up" as work isn't valued as much as brown nosing. No career development opportunities. Low pay and average benefits.
