Cengage Learning Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Bonus structure is pretty good

My salary is competitive for my career/field and the opportunity to earn a bonus every year is great - but the bonuses could be bigger. There's barely any differentiation for top performers vs the rest.

The benefits from health care to wellness days and beyond are terrific

I get paid fairly for my title and also separate sick and vacation time, the maternity leave is amazing and so is the grievance policy.

Incentive Program ties chunk of compensation to performance as it should be.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Base salary is much lower than industry standards and does not equate to cost of living in a very high COL area.

Content folks are generally underpaid.

The only way to move up in pay at this company i jump from position to position. Internal promotions are not common and opportunities are slim as we are in a period of eliminating positions.

Cengage pay is bottom-barrel. Whether it be sales, tech, editorial or anything in between, you will be paid tens of thousands of dollars less than the industry standard. Family-related leave is great, but balanced by the VERY poor and expensive health plan available.

Base compensation and benefits are below average for industry. Little opportunity to advance, and no bonuses unless you're in sales.
