Vantaggi

Working with schools and getting books into the hands of kids is rewarding. Scholastic Book Fairs is a beloved institution but the loss of book people and addition of entertainment industry MBAs has changed the focus of the company significantly. Summers off are nice.

Svantaggi

Used to be a balance of books/literacy focus and profits but they have used COVID as an excuse to cut people and It's gone from a very rewarding job to a misery. Middle management is bloated and redundant and manages people as a group instead of individually. Lots of lip-service to DEIB but conveniently leaves pay equity out of any discussion.

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.
