      Good: People and PTO; Meh: The work and salary - Editorial Assistant Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      The Boston office is home to a lot of great people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. There's a great community, especially among the younger, early career people in the office. You get 20+ PTO days your first year, which is nice.

      Cons

      The title is a bit misleading. At Wiley, an "editorial" assistant and the higher level "editors" do only administrative and account/client management work. There is no editing involved, and the writing is limited to writing emails and proposals. They're up-front about that, but some who see the title and are looking for creative work might be a bit put-off. $32,000 salary is low--especially if you have loans and want to live in the city.

      Thanks for the review! It really helps us gain perspective on what people think and how we can best make changes and improvements. As many on Glassdoor have said, the people at Wiley are the best and we couldn't agree more.

      Pros

      Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

      Cons

      Pay and hybrid office work

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

      Cons

      Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
