Avoid -- Hybrid publishing environment and toxic workplace

Editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and PTO, as well as great coworkers

Cons

Basically no training and you’re expected to bring in proposals immediately, even if starting from scratch. The VP fosters a competitive environment and micro manages to an extreme amount. Managers are stretched thin and have no time to help or mentor, which is frustrating. The company is obsessed with AI and moving as fast as possible. The job is also so meeting heavy and so many of the meetings are a waste of time or so unorganized.
