Worst place I ever worked - Anonymous employee Scholastic Employee Review

The CEO has been around for ages and has a close knit group of people he listens to. Nobody else has a chance to change anything - and boy does it need changing. Most of the "inner circle" wouldn't know the digital business if it bit them. And they are flat-out mean and nasty - especially to any newcomers who try to introduce new ideas. The joke around the company is that they are just waiting for digital to go away. The other problem is that the CEO sets up his business units to be competitive with each other, which leads to lots of infighting at the upper levels - which naturally trickles down to the staff as well. So there is constant finger-pointing and blame. Nobody cares about solving problems - they just want to avoid being blamed for them.
