      Pros

      Casual work environment. Average benefits, such as medical and 401k.

      Cons

      Poor annual raises. Poor management especially at the higher levels and poor communications. The company is not in touch with the current rapid changes and trends. Frequent restructuring is done and not always for the good of the company, which leads to major lay-offs and the new heads of departments starts hiring their friends and families to positions that they are completely unqualified for.

      Scholastic- Sales- No work/life balance

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Name is golden in sales. Everyone knows Scholastic and "trusts" the name. Good benefit package especially for pregnant moms. Good salary. Talk to someone currently in the job and get their opinion.

      Cons

      No work/life balance. Management and communication was poor. No training for sales personnel in the product they were selling. They didn't even give you a full product to learn... only a demo CD that you woudl give customers. No effective way to follow your sales. Used antiquated STAR reporting system. Felt like company was just too large. Right hand didn't know what left hand was doing.

      Pros

      You can't beat the mission and the environment is very friendly and familial.

      Cons

      It's almost impossible to get anything done. The bureaucracy is out of control.
