Elsevier reviews

Once you really start to get to know some of the other employees they're very rude and they don't appreciate you. Then you realize how miserable some of the people are. Never happy, always complaining.... The trainer is an absolute inconsiderate person. During my first few weeks of training she calls off and works from home on some days. When she doesn't feel like explaining anything she says "refer to the manual." After two weeks, my manger and I, realized I was given the wrong training manual from the trainer. During my second week, I asked my trainer a question on one of the tabs in the program and she immediately started yelling at me. No respect at all for the new employees. I would suggest you steer away from the Tampa Office staff. The job position is good once you learn it but a few of the staff members made it a horrible experience.

you would have to be sitting under a rock to not have heard about the drama happening in the academic publishing sector. Elsevier is trying hard to reinvent itself as an information analytics company, but the reality is that the majority of the revenue is coming from ScienceDirect journal subscriptions. Management are scared of the ceo who has been known to shout at his direct reports when frustrated. This results in a great deal of pressure from the top to accelerate new revenues streams from Elsevier's digital platforms. The result? Lots of reorgs, finger pointing, politics, revolving door of people coming and going, high turnover, lots of people on burnout/stress leave, really bad morale. Some groups are worse off than others. In particular marketing is a complete mess and let by an incompetent fool. Product and Sales are both led by strong leaders and have less issues.
