McGraw-Hill Employee Reviews about "senior management"

Pros

Despite company flaws there is a good team of people doing the hard work. They have great solutions that could make a real difference to academics and students.

Cons

Completely lost touch with their customers and the market in general. Poor performance from legacy staff is tolerated. Hard work and commitment is not repaid. Great staff are constantly put on whilst the senior management is often interim or a bad fit for the business making it impossible to be successful as an individual. Staff development and CPD is non-existant. Good people are undervalued and allowed to leave. Salary range for people in same role is ridiculous. The company is more interested in selling to the next VC than it is in making a difference to customers. I would not recommend working here. There is very little in the way of strategy and what there is usually changes on a quarterly basis. Promises are made but not kept.

Pros

Some good, smart people work at MHE

Cons

Expect to get laid off, devalued, or minimized to the point of not being effective. Horrible senior management culture - good old boys, few women in leadership positions. CDO is a bad leader: lack of accountability, lack of adaptability, poor integrity.

Pros

Really great coworkers in the sales team, and a supportive direct manager, and quite a good work/life balance, depending on your location

Cons

No culture; no support; not many opportunities to advance unless you're willing to relocate; far too HQ-focused without much consideration for local offices and teams; non-existent HR; stale senior management; low compensations and benefits

Pros

work life balance is the only thing you have there and that is depending what dept you work for

Cons

Benefits are very basic tuition reimbursement is basic, considering that they claim to be an e-learning company, they should have a more generous policy even offer to pay for everything due to cutting expenses there is no money to attend external trainning, there is so much you can learn through connect 2 culture and morale are down due to constant restructurings In my 3 plus years, I saw one promotion. Most of promotion happen due to reorgs and you know what that means(lots of works and almost with same pay Very few people hold graduate degrees. Most folks hold a job New Senior management is very hands off, very top heavy, that is why revenue wise they made more money but not employee wise Corporate functions are barely there. Finance dept has a solid operation HR is terrible, a lot of payroll mistakes, need to keep an eye on your paycheck at all times Finance controls everything, not upfront about budgets to sales, a lot of unethical issues

Pros

When in sales a lot depends on your local District Manager and leadership team. I am fortunate to have one of the best teams in the Company. Leadership is very flexible with schedules, however push you to do your best and achieve goal by years end. Overall HR is moving in the right direction with different programs that truthfully should have been in-place long ago.

Cons

This is a billion dollar startup as many within the company say... they are very growth oriented, however, with the transition to net sales and different strategy implemented this year it will be interesting to see how the next few years work with the transition to digital. The senior management is disconnected with the environment on campus and need to get out to visit with customers more often.

Pros

*Lots of room for personal growth and professional development *Great parental leave policies *Decent benefits *Leadership trusts middle management *Processes appear to be less bureaucratic *Great teamwork, great department

Cons

*Multiple changes in senior management have made the direction and vision of the company somewhat cloudy. While we have an overall vision, communication around it's nuances hasn't trickled down. *Pay seems to be low and low on the priority list of management.
