Pros

There are some creative and smart people in the office.

Cons

Incredibly high turn over. They mask it by saying they are growing but that's not true. People are leaving because there is no opportunity for advancement. There are a few favorite employees who get promoted time after time while others linger. A number of employees demonstrate poor professional behavior creating a toxic workplace for the rest.

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.
