Sourcebooks reviews

The leadership staff are dysfunctional. CEO verbally abuses management staff and undermines their work daily. No balance in work. Favors white men over people who can actually deliver impact to the business. Diversity is non existent even though they had 20 + steps to dismantle racism. CEO will use your challenges to attack you and “coach” you. Discrimination against those who have mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, are common.

The challenges of working at Sourcebooks: office location, insane workloads, uneven policies amongst employees / offices, departments are understaffed, employees are underpaid, blatant favoritism, micromanagement from the top down, little time off, minimal flexibility, expensive health insurance, complete loss of work / life balance, high turnover rates, zero training for incoming staff, management's inability to communicate expectations, and a CEO who has the entire office walking on eggshells every day. My advice to potential candidates, should they choose to work for Sourcebooks, is to only work in the NYC or Connecticut offices. Those offices boast a much nicer place to work, a better work / life balance, and flexibility. The Naperville office is dysfunctional and disrespectful to its employees.
