Pros

Free water and access to Wifi. And free food a couple times a year to keep us fat.

Cons

You feel like a low grade car sales person. The management is always against you. If you do decide to accept a position at the Cincinnati office, there is only one supervisor that actually thinks of her team. Each day is full of unmanageable tasks that include harassing over worked teacher and librarians to have mediocre book fairs, that are filled with empty promises. Once you wear them down, you are then required to bully them into take "Scholastic Dollars" for their profit from the fair. DO NOT get sucked into "the mission" to help kids get books. The only "mission" that Scholastic has is to under pay their employees and make as much money as they can. Oh, and the summers off they will manipulate you with...is UNPAID!!

Pros

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

Cons

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.
