Pros

Challenging work, nice MACs, nice windows.

Cons

Employers treat employees like bad little children. Female owner likes to berate staff. There is so much work to do because of greed. The owners want to keep their hands on everything and they don't want to miss out on any opportunity, even if a deadline is not realistic at all. They don't care about their employees. They don't show respect. At any minute, you can become a target. They always need someone to blame. Upper management likes to hire their friends. Upper management often mimics the belittling tone of the owners. Publisher changes her mind constantly, meaning that you will have to rewrite and revise without any direction. Constantly. There is always tension and friction. Uncomfortable scenes are always happening.
