Pros

The company has amazing product and marketing team members, great sales resources, fantastic customer service to help gain and keep business, ongoing employee training available, team support and I could go on and on. The company has adapted to change and is making an effort to change the education technology landscape. I have felt supported and valued during my 4 years at Cengage. They are improving their transparency and making an effort to make sure employees are in the know about these changing times in Higher Education. Being field based is also the biggest perk. Being able to create my own schedule and have a flexible work environment is perfect for my work style and family dynamic. You have to be motivated and ambitious in this kind of role to be successful, but it is well worth it!

Cons

There is some inconsistency between product and platform resources and services, but that is business (some sell better than others). There have been a LOT of changes in the last four years; Some of them great and others not so much.

Pros

Company has some interesting approaches to the market and in the past they seemed value employees. There are some good employees there and there was, in the past, visionary leadership, but the people with the vision and leadership skills left the company a few years ago.

Cons

The company actively de-values employees. They had a project they called "Project Horizon" where they told all employees they needed to cut costs, so the company was going to have multiple layoffs over 3-5 years - but nobody was allowed to know when, where, or why - - just one day large swaths of people would be gone. That hung over everyone's heads - for years, and is indicative of how Cengage values employees - it doesn't. Everything is about trying to secure new funding and prepare for an IPO, so they stopped investing significantly in the products about 3 years ago and that's about when they stopped acting like they cared about employee wellness as well.
