Supportive team and good pay, but unclear progression paths

Former marketing manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team and highly supportive line manager. Good salary and benefits.

Cons

Lack of merit increase, opportunities to progress and when you do apply internally, lack of communication from HR back on status. Too many management changes. Seems a little too clicky at a high level (ie if your face fits)!

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.
