Pros

Allowed to work remotely during and after pandemic. Enjoy the people I work with, my manager is flexible with time off, doctor's appts, etc. and doesn't micromanage. We get a lot of PTO and holidays, with the exception of Good Friday and Christmas Eve (strangely). It's a great place to work overall, just terrible at advancement and salary.

Cons

I have requested a pay increase and/or title change for over 3 years. I am always told that my job description fits my title and the decision is not up to my manager. I have been doing 3 other people's work since 5 people left my department last year during the Great Resignation. They left because they were offered a larger salary from other employers. My salary is at least $20k below the average, but I stay because the PTO and benefits are good. I dread starting over after being with company for 14 years.

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.
