Fun, creative work environment, but why so much firing? Scholastic should find other ways to cut costs. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Scholastic

Vantaggi

Great benefits, smart people, and a laid-back creative environment.

Svantaggi

Not great at managing money, I'd say. Last year, Scholastic was 1 million over budget in advertising alone. Whenever there are financial problems, the Scholastic solution is to fire people. It is not clear to me whether they take this route as a last resort, but it doesn't seem like it. In my four years here, we've had three "black Fridays."

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.
