Pros
Benefits - All the typical benefits are given, plus a ton of vacation days More vacation days than you can ever take - There is typically one employee per school per position, so when you go on vacation, your work waits. This is often not possible as there are rigid semester deadlines in higher education. You will learn so much information in a very short time - Deltak/Wiley is partnered with more than 40 schools. Every single one functions differently than the others. This means transitioning from school to school requires the employee to learn the practices and norms of each school. There is a high learning curve and it is easy to make a mistake. Deltak will throw you under the bus quicker than you can imagine to maintain their own reputation.
Cons
With the Wiley acquisition, the company has lost everything that once made it an amazing company to work for. They no longer care about being the best at what they do and are now only focused on quarterly earnings. They keep signing new schools and promising the new schools the world but are not hiring enough people to complete the work. This is being done to make the company look like it is earning more than it is spending. It is working for right now but this is not a successful long- term strategy and the employees know it. This is resulting in a high turnover rate. Employees that have been with the company since the beginning are leaving because they see Wiley is going to run the company into the ground and keep what they want from it. The company is no longer about doing the best work possible and the employees are not seeing the fulfilling work they had in the past. Wiley is coming in and taking over. Craig Pines has made the company what it is and now he has lost all his power. Upper management is slowly being replaced by Wiley employees, which is causing the shift in company culture.
