Vantaggi

Known Product with a long and illustrious history. When you walk into a school, they all know who World Book is.

Svantaggi

Management that takes everything personally. You need to meet monthly goals that can be as high as 300% over the same month in the previous year. If you are not at your monthly goal 2/3 through the month, be prepared for daily calls or emails from the manager badgering you. Micromanaging is the way management rolls here.

We have a very autonomous work environment across our Sales division. We're actually opposed to micro-managing because it's doesn't lead to growth. Reps work from home and develop whatever work routine works for them. I would actually welcome any sales candidate considering a job at World Book to have discussions with our top performing sales reps at World Book (I'll personally arrange that interaction via Skype, in person or over the phone). There is indeed more interaction between the VP/Mgr and the rep when goals aren't being met. This is the case with any Sales division in any industry across the country and world.

Vantaggi

Wonderful collaborative atmosphere where everyone was extremely helpful to me when I was first at the company. My boss was so much like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" and utilized a laissez faire leadership style with was very effective.

Svantaggi

I can find nothing negative to report on this company.

Vantaggi

Good people. Hybrid work schedule.

Svantaggi

Low pay, when a coworker leaves, there is no replacement, that person's responsibilities get divided and spread out to the entire team. The President of the company, is quick to jump to unfounded rumors, scuttlebutt from "anonymous suggestion box" comments and conclusions as opposed to actual facts, and focused solely on dollars signs, his bonus and does not lead by example, despite being a former military officer. Moral has dropped at the company because management doesn't take the employees issues and concerns to heart and pay a decent livable wage.
