      Pros

      - Excellent work / life balance - Moderately friendly atmosphere - Internal cafeteria and terrace

      Cons

      - Antiquated business model that is teetering on collapse - Outdated IT systems make doing your job near impossible - Promotions / raises are rare - Executive level fully comprised of ineffective and unqualified individuals, most of whom are in their position due to familial or geographical relations to the president - Misguided directives from higher-ups lead to vast amounts of stockholder value being spent on personal projects that are non necessarily Scholastic-related

      Watch your back and dummy up!

      Pros

      Literacy on a global basis is the most rewarding work and everyone is part of it...whether they realize it or not.

      Cons

      Watch your back. If you have expertise in something like digital. Play it cool. Don't come across as knowing too much because you will be perceived as a threat to those that pretend to know but have no knowledge at all. When it comes to the website, the people running it have no expertise to back up their positions. They are pretenders at best. Be warned. If you are smart, RUN! If you have expertise and want excel, RUN! If you have ideas, take them with you while you RUN!

      Pros

      SoHo location is great. Convenient commissary.

      Cons

      90% staff are freelance status. No one says hello when they pass you by in elevator or hallway. Everyone looks sad. Lowest morale I've ever seen. Bullying tactics observed.
