Pros

It is rewarding to interact with teachers when given the change. As well as being able to see the impact your work does.

Cons

The structure of workflow is completely disorganized and the time management of the chain of command is completely lacking. No one of the higher ups understands what goes into the end products they ask for and thus the demands are ridiculous and often unattainable. Because of the lack of organization everything is often rushed and late. Things do not get done in the proper amount of time and end up not working correctly. People along the chain of command do not understand the amount of work and TIME that goes into other people's responsibilities and deadlines are thus often not met. Energy, resources and time are spent on things that do not benefit as much as other projects could. The advice and input of the employees that are doing the work is often ignored because the head of command just wants to have it done their way instead of what would work/look or be in the best interest of the company functioning properly.

Pros

When you believe in what you're selling, other people feel it. Knowing Scholastic from childhood helps with your storytelling. The managers are great and they care about their team. No work is taken outside of the office. Great work life balance as well.

Cons

Goals are realistic if you do the work, but like all industries, the macroeconomic landscape greatly affects performance. I wish there were more opportunities for overtime.
