Pros

Really great coworkers in the sales team, and a supportive direct manager, and quite a good work/life balance, depending on your location

Cons

No culture; no support; not many opportunities to advance unless you're willing to relocate; far too HQ-focused without much consideration for local offices and teams; non-existent HR; stale senior management; low compensations and benefits

McGraw Hill Response

Over the past 18 months, the leadership team in Australia has been making changes to the business which include upskilling and reskilling the workforce. These necessary changes sometimes impact employees. We understand the frustration of those that have been impacted. Nevertheless, the leadership team at McGraw-Hill Australia will continue to drive improvements that show positive business results.

Pros

Great on-boarding team and process, multiple health benefit options, hefty bonus structure.

Cons

If you like having ZERO work life balance this job is for you. The expectation to be on at all times is never said, just implied and expected. They'll say don't work late or on weekends, but the job needs to be done. So if 40 hours isn't enough, which it never is, given the daily meeting expectations, managing renewal processes, outreach campaigns, and onsite meetings, figure it out. The sales team is KING, and everyone else has to accommodate their personalities. Sales can be rude and argumentative to MANAGERS in front of other team members or in meetings, and they are still employed because they bring in money! The general feel is "Ask questions but not too many questions" This work environment was toxic.
