Vantaggi

In theory, there are lots of benefits to working for Scholastic. In reality, I'd rank their benefits package as one of the few positives of the company.

Svantaggi

Scholastic is a company whose business practices are rooted in the 1970s. It's astonishing how poorly the company has changed with the times - whether it's antiquated information systems to printers from 1989 to a reluctance to invest in product development for modern kids - Scholastic is a dinosaur of a business. Another problem is that senior management is bloated, while the assistant/associate level remains thin, despite receiving the least amount of compensation for doing most of the work. It's a political workplace with very little accountability or structure, and very little room for advancement.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
