Pros

Nice Team and nice colleagues (5 words minimum...)

Cons

Not a place for people who want to grow. You can work hard or not at all it won't make a big difference: it will be Sales fault anyway. Lack of knowledge or resources to conduct projects, products regularly bugging. No long term strategy (it changes every year). If you are not resilient you will not last long, if you are you can stay 20 yrs... but do not expect to accomplish much. Practice your fake smile and say everything is great.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you. Feel free to reach out to us at elseviergdrev@elsevier.com to provide more information Thank you for staying engaged and for caring enough to share this. It matters.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
