Pros
In theory, there are lots of benefits to working for Scholastic. In reality, I'd rank their benefits package as one of the few positives of the company.
Cons
Scholastic is a company whose business practices are rooted in the 1970s. It's astonishing how poorly the company has changed with the times - whether it's antiquated information systems to printers from 1989 to a reluctance to invest in product development for modern kids - Scholastic is a dinosaur of a business. Another problem is that senior management is bloated, while the assistant/associate level remains thin, despite receiving the least amount of compensation for doing most of the work. It's a political workplace with very little accountability or structure, and very little room for advancement.
