      Benefits OK, but the pay is abysmal - Managing Editor Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      Co-workers are great people to work with 401(k) match is acceptable Benefits are OK

      Cons

      - Pay is horrible. Many co-workers in editorial positions (Managing Editors and Editorial Assistants) who have been working in the company for years have yet to break $50k, even after taking on extra projects and job roles. Turnover rate in the company is high as well, also due to low pay. - Almost no opportunity for promotions, but they have no problem with burdening you with work.

      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.
