Pros

The company culture is great. 35 hour work week is nice. Working in the Hoboken offices is great. Transportation is a block away and the town itself is lively. Great food. People at the company are very nice and willing to help you.

Cons

I really enjoyed my experience with the company. Some upper management can be more helpful than others in ensuring that you are doing your best to move along your career path. Others expect you to be very self motivated. Which is OK if your the right type of person.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
