      Just your typical, large publishing corporation: low(ish) salaries and looks-good-on-paper benefits

      Pros

      -- The people I've worked with have made this place tolerable. When I think about the company as a whole, I can't wait to get out. But when I think about my managers/colleagues, I'm OK with staying. -- Gym subsidy isn't bad. You pay maybe $30/month for an otherwise-$60 (plus sign-up fees) gym membership. -- The location of the Boston offices can't be beat. Back Bay/Copley Square has added value to the job.

      Cons

      -- Tuition reimbursement is a farce. The 100% reimbursement promise might sound generous, but the classes you take have to directly correlate to your current position, so forget about bettering yourself on the company dime. -- The company is on a kick of turning all its office spaces into open layout. Sure, it encourages collaboration, but not every department requires collaboration.

      It depends on who you're working with.

      Pros

      Beautiful company campus. Bright, cheerful building. Our department (Reading Department) had flex hours, which I loved. There really was an attitude of wanting to do a good job that would affect elementary students positively. The Reading Department created school textbooks and other reading-instruction materials. I'm sure they continue to produce this type of product.

      Cons

      1) As in any job, it just depends on who you end up working with, who your immediate supervisors are, and how upper management approaches their staff. When I was appreciated for my good work I loved my job. But I was heartbroken from the aftermath of a new department policy that shook up our entire department and caused many veteran employees to either quit or become offended and enraged. I was personally affected by this new policy, which came from upper management in 2000. It appeared that the new policy was supported by our department leadership. 2) The Reading Department often required a lot of overtime. I don't know if it's still like that.
