Vantaggi
Decent place to start in the publishing industry and will give you a good idea of how the industry works. Because turnover is high, Cengage is a good place to climb the ladder in terms of title and responsibility quite quickly.
Svantaggi
While it is possible to get more experience at Cengage in a short amount of time than at smaller publishers, there tends to be a glass ceiling because promotions are based on space rather than performance. There are lots of older employees who will stay at the company until retirement, so even middle-range positions are difficult to come by. The salaries offered are very low. Also, much of the management is drawn from the sales force. While those managers can probably sell ice to an Eskimo, their project management skills are simply non-existent.
