Business outlook
Pros
Elsevier is a very old established company so you do not need to worry about them going out of business. They have a good training program available if you choose to participate. The work week is only 35 hours and they encourage you to schedule your work week so you do not have to work Friday afternoon.
Cons
No clear direction, frequently pass over internal employees for outsiders. Benefits are severely downgraded. Only a high deductible insurance plan is available. Disorganization at mid manager level is pervasive and the company is very siloed.
