Pros

Scholastic strives to get books into the hands of our kids, and helps to shape the lives of their future by promoting literacy at a early age.

Cons

Many business practices are contradictory. What holds as true one day, may be grossly incorrect another. Rules and procedures change based on the day. The management's problem solving solutions, often times, only stall on the issues at hand, which creates an inevitable snow-ball affect.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
