      Highly Degrading Culture

      Pros

      Scholastic is filled with intelligent people who have broad and varied interests. Most team members are passionate about the work that they do, and you will find that most folks are willing and ready to engage in meaningful conversation about education, literacy, politics, and beyond.

      Cons

      Lack of professionalism. No topic (or comment) is off limits. Scholastic Education is particularly horrific. Senior Management consistently degraded me and others. Your gender, ethnicity, class, marital status, home life, sexual orientation, age, appearance, etc. are all fair game. I probably should have gone to HR several times to report the things I was hearing/experiencing, but the culture of fear kept me from doing so.

      Mission-driven, fantastic colleagues

      Pros

      * The entire company is mission-driven and truly cares about impacting children's literacy and cultivating a love of learning * Strong, positive brand association among teachers and parents * There is a lot of opportunity to contribute your ideas to any project, but the processes for taking a project to market are very unclear * Great opportunities for growth and advancement, if you are okay with dealing with ambiguity and taking on more work

      Cons

      * Very, very, very little blue-sky innovation. * Processes, systems, and technologies are quite out of date * The company is not structured for growth. Many functional teams are siloed in separate business-units, and very few individuals/teams have a goal-oriented mindset * Data-driven decision-making is often talked about, but rarely practiced. Data teams are super smart and helpful, but are not embedded functionally, so impact is always limited. * There is a general misunderstanding of underlying growth drivers for the business units and the enterprise, often starting at top-level management.

      Slow-paced, high churn.

      Pros

      Good mission Great Soho location Nice peers Opportunities for growth, with the right team A couple superstar peers

      Cons

      People are frequently leaving, which means everyone is doing 2-3 jobs at once, or pretending to and really not working at all. Lots of cruisers. Some of the management can be borderline abusive with no action from HR. This is also a reason why people leave. A lot of fear/politics/discomfort.
