Pros

The ability to work at your own pace on most days has been a plus for me. Convenient access to numerous types of internal training has also been a big help during our restructuring process. Wiley also tries to make sure its employees can achieve a good work/life balance and in the short time I've been here, they seem to succeed by offering paid vacation time, early release on days before federal holidays, and good insurance and retirement plans for full-time workers.

Cons

Recent restructuring has led to some confusion among employees while learning new processes, and lack of access to upper management has often occurred because they are quite busy learning new processes themselves. However, 2014 is trending up and we are continuing to adjust to changing schedules and task lists as more time goes on.

Pros

Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

Cons

Pay and hybrid office work

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
